I really enjoy the creative part of my job, such as GDD planning, brain trusting sessions, and thunderdome sessions. I get to influence the direction of the games we create (original content and work-for-hire projects). There is something very satisfying about seeing full games or levels I participated on.-Negotiating contracts, including licensing deals.-Creation, analysis and control through the various documents to know the game inside and outside (financial plans, performance summaries, production parameters, GDD).-Schedule creation and update.-Compiling other people’s feedback into useful action items.-Data entry, talking to team members and making sure that tasks on pre/pro/post-production are completed.-Tagging action items in meetings so they can get added to the schedule communicate meeting notes to the team.-Facilitating communication and problem-solving.-Relationship with service providers (localization, external QA, VO, etc.).

I enjoyed working on Attractio (the first Latin American videogame published by Bandai Namco Entertainment) because I learned different processes regarding QA, product delivery and launch; I understood the pipeline to launch a multi platform video game in different regions (PS4, PS Vita, Steam for Win / Lin / Mac on the regions of America, Europe, Australia and South Africa).-Strategic decision making.-Level design support for the game Attractio.-Planning and Game Design for VR projects applied in industry applications.-Relationship with service providers (localization, external QA, VO, etc.).

I teach the subjects of game development life cycle and marketing for videogames in the art and engeneering degrees for videogames at Coco School.

One of the first activities I had to learn on my early days in GC Studios was the copyright and trademark registration for the product Attractio. I fully covered topics from legal to business to fully protect the studio's IP. The second, but no less important, was the planning for a better business administration and human resources for the company by developing a new team structure, defining business processes and coaching the programmers in business and soft skills.-I have made relevant decisions related to intellectual property, team structure, business planning, administration, human resources and sales.-Negotiations with clients, providers, suppliers and alliances.-Caring relationships with strategic alliances like Sony Computer Entertainment America and Bandai Namco Entertainment America.-Creation of contracts such as work-for-hire, copyright, NDA's, EULA's.-Seek opportunities to establish channel partnership with overseas and national clients/companies.-Strategies aimed to improve work environment.-Sales operations.

As the media relations manager I took care of the communication strategy between the University's News paper and the students. I planned and recorded several podcasts aimed to the University community.-Communication-Small team management-Leadership
