Jonathan Martinez Email & Phone Number

Hello World!Here is the short version of what I can do:1) My preferred programming languages are : C++, Python, and JavaScript.2) I'm an expert at using the digital content creation tool Blender3D. Specifically, I can model, skin, rig, animate, texture, UV map, script, and 3D print.3) I'm familiar with how to program and use assets in Unreal Engine.4) I have experience using Git or Perforce for version control5) I have a good understanding of the following concepts: the computer graphics pipeline, computer networks, 3D math, algorithms and data structuresHere is the long version of who I am:I love games. I believe they are the ultimate medium of expression because they encompass the beauty of art, the melodies of music, and the logic of programming. Everything I've done so far and everything I will do is all to reach my long term goal - to make at least one good game.I didn't know I wanted to go down this path until my sophomore year of university, but I feel my subconscious has been guiding me to it since high school. Towards the end of high school, I was fortunate enough to intern at the Museum of Modern Art through their Community Scholars Program. There, we collaborated with the non-profit video game-based gallery , Babycastles, and that experience redefined my perspective on what games could be. A month before that, my team and I were winners of a game jam hosted at Microsoft in NYC - there I learned the importance of team synchronization in a fast paced environment.Today, I'm an experienced Software Engineer specializing in the fields of computer science that are related to game development such as Rendering, AI, Game Engines, etc. My curiosity for game development also drove me to become an expert with the digital content creation tool Blender3D where I can proficiently use the tools for rigging, animation, modeling, texturing, and UV mapping. I also understand the process of exporting assets from a DCC like Blender to a game engine like Unreal Engine, as well as how to use the assets once they are in the game engine. I learned all of this because of the passion and dedication I have to reach my goals and I promise to uphold these qualities for any role I obtain throughout my career.
