With my design studio growing strong, I took a chance to pursue a childhood passion with Cabrera Brothers, a game studio I co-founded. We worked hard to create our first game, 'CYPHER: Cyberpunk Text Adventure,' and decided to self-publish it despite the competition since it was not a 3D game but an adventure based just on text. The game surprised everyone and received critical acclaim. It was named by Gaming Enthusiast as 'one of the 30 Best Text-Adventures/Interactive-Fiction Games Over 5 Decades.' Penny Arcade called it 'a sexy, violent, neo-noir adventure told through text, clever puzzles, and beautiful art,' and The Verge complimented the game's art and visual immersion.This game project was a great opportunity for me to create an engaging and immersive experience, as well as to learn new technologies and methodologies in the field. I used languages such as C++, C#, and TypeScript, and experimented with VisualScripting and other tools related to game development and game engines. I also expanded my web development skills by working with Node, React, and the latest JavaScript frameworks to handle the different parts of the online sales.

One of my personal projects was The Free Bundle, a digital science fiction magazine that aimed to capture the spirit and style of classic authors like Asimov and Bradbury. I was a full stack developer for this project, using technologies such as React, Node, PHP, and databases to create an interactive and engaging platform for the readers. I was also involved in curating and editing the content of the magazine, which included stories, articles, interviews, and reviews. Some of the mini projects that I worked on as part of The Free Bundle were:- An ARG (Alternative Reality Game) that created an immersive and mysterious narrative for the readers, attracting close to 3000 subscribers who participated in solving puzzles, finding clues, and uncovering secrets.- Five thematic newsletters that covered different aspects of science fiction, such as cyberpunk, space opera, dystopia, time travel, and post-apocalyptic. These newsletters eventually merged into one main newsletter that reached close to 16,000 subscribers who enjoyed the curated content and recommendations.- A Digital Trading Card system that allowed the readers to collect and trade cards featuring various science fiction themes, such as Star Wars, H.P. Lovecraft, Blade Runner, and more. The cards had different rarities and values, and the readers could use them to unlock exclusive content and rewards on the magazine website.- A PDF magazine that was published bi-monthly, featuring original and classic science fiction stories, as well as interviews with authors, artists, and experts in the field. The magazine had a loyal and enthusiastic fan base who appreciated the quality and diversity of the content.The Free Bundle was a challenging and rewarding project that allowed me to showcase my skills as a developer and a content creator. It also gave me the opportunity to explore my passion for science fiction and to connect with other fans and professionals in the genre.

Emastudios was my personal web agency that I ran from 2008 to 2012, collaborating with clients from all over the world on various projects. From a small company offering essay writing services to students, to working on the web presence for one of the largest background checking companies in the United States, Emastudios demonstrated my ability to adapt and excel in different domains and industries. It also showed my creativity and dedication to delivering effective solutions that met the specific needs of my clients globally.

I worked as a freelance designer for GoClio, the world's top software for law firms. GoClio is trusted and endorsed by more than 90 bar associations and law societies across the globe. It offers the best legal practice management solutions in the market. Besides the logo itself, I designed the first version of some of the main features of GoClio, such as the scheduling and document modules, and other essential parts that make GoClio the preferred option for legal professionals everywhere.

I was fortunate to be part of the early team at BeenVerified.com, a leading background check company that aims to make public data more accessible to everyone. BeenVerified was founded in 2007 in New York City and has a global team of talented and passionate people. I worked closely with the founders, Josh Levy and Ross Cohen, to create the brand's identity and user experience. I designed the logo, developed the front-end, and crafted the user interaction and interface. We successfully launched the first version of the product, delivering on BeenVerified's promise of offering easy and affordable access to public information for all.

At IP International S.A, I led the entire project of creating and distributing international calling cards from 2005 to 2008. I designed, developed, and printed six different card lines, each tailored to the needs and preferences of specific expat communities. I also managed the online aspects of the project, ensuring the company's online presence was effective and user-friendly, and developing a web version of the cards that offered convenience and flexibility.

During my five years at Ligados.com, a leading VoIP company in Latin America, I wore two hats as a programmer and designer. I played a crucial role in developing an early web-based communication platform that functioned like a virtual telephone for international calls (before Skype!) These experiences not only boosted my technical skills but also fueled my passion for innovation, setting the stage for my current ventures.
