ABOUT ME
My purpose is to create, guide, and teach.
I’ve been creating stuff my whole life: silly youtube videos, tier b videogames, scrambled newsletter articles… you name it.
All of those pieces had the same end in mind: “share what I’ve learnt in a digestible way“. The way I see it, this is a two-way relationship; I solidify my knowledge and my audience gets the raw value from it.
But it wasn’t until last year that I discovered why I kept doing this… I discovered that guiding others to get through struggles fires me so much. And that’s exactly what my work is all about.
SKILLS
Proactivity
I love taking the initiative when it comes to my work. All of my managers stood out my easiness to propose new ideas and solutions. I’m always learning something new, building and sharing it with other people. Not only in my job but also in my side hustle content creation business.
Organization
If you ask any of my friends if I have a problem with being too organized, they’ll probably say yes. I don’t fully agree with them but I see their point. I have built systems for organizing not only my work and my side hustle but also my health, time, and even relationships to some extend.
Communication
At the end of the day, every project I’ve participated in has involved a huge team coordination effort. From game jams to my final thesis and my content creation business. All of these experiences have provided me with a solid foundation when it comes to my communication skills.

TEACHING & MENTORSHIP
One day, I was looking around the internet for a new learning resource to add to my collection and I had a pretty tough time finding a course that teaches the basics about game development. It was then when I thought “Why don’t I make one?”
