At 20 years old and hailing from Lima, Peru, I work as a Game Designer and Project Manager. My journey began with a degree in Game Design and Digital Entertainment. From the first semester of my studies, we delved into the experience of developing video game projects, resulting in fully playable products. Leading every team I've been part of, I've taken pride in delivering robust outcomes.My interest in Project Management grew significantly during the development of my final semester project, which involved a team of fourteen members. Managing a team of that size required more time, and during the initial phase of development, my management skills faltered. I made mistakes and failed to correct them in time, leading to poor communication and a decline in team morale. However, in the project's final stretch, we made a concerted collaborative effort and delivered a solid product.Before embarking on the project's second phase, the team decided to restructure our organization, and I took on that challenge. I streamlined management processes across all areas, immersed myself in every project phase, implemented a Gantt chart that made progress visible to all team members, and, most importantly, restored effective communication. As a result, the project's second phase progressed smoothly, with any emerging issues swiftly addressed before escalating. This experience sparked a genuine interest in Project Management.I'm detail-oriented, respectful, dedicated, and above all, pragmatic when it comes to problem-solving.

Project ManagerWachikoleo Games Aug 2022 - Dec 2022Lima, PeruMy second experience as a project manager put me at the helm of a 9-person team, which was both an exciting and exhausting challenge. I had never managed such a large group before, but I immersed myself in the task of creating schedules and ensuring task alignment. The result was a video game with innovative concepts and visually appealing art.Deadline is a hack 'n slash game where time is the ultimate currency. Players assume the role of the Agent, an elite soldier tasked with capturing a scientist whose research into spacetime has caused dangerous distortions.

Project ManagerBizcochitos Mar 2022 - Jul 2022Lima, PeruMy first experience as a full-time project manager, leading a team of 6 people, presented me with significant challenges. Accustomed to combining leadership and development roles in previous projects, I had to adapt to focusing exclusively on management.
