I'm Carlos Jiménez

Who I am

I'm a game programmer with strong skills in C++, C#, Unreal Engine, Unity and Software architecture. My areas of expertise are UI, AI and Gameplay.

I've developed and published several indie minigames and prototypes on my own as well as collaborating with artists and designers.

I've been playing videogames almost everyday since I was able to grab a controller, which has given me a lot of experience about the mechanics and designs of lots of genres. I'm also a usual pen 'n paper player and game master, as well as a long fan of card and board games.

My background working with web technologies helped me develop my coding and interpersonal skills, collaborating with different departments and clients
