About me

I’m a creative force with a technical edge—driven by a lifelong passion for blending innovation and imagination to bring ambitious ideas to life. From a start as a Chemical Engineer, to Emmy-nominated director to game industry leader, my journey has been anything but conventional—and that’s exactly how I like it.

After leading engineering projects early in my career, I took a leap toward what truly lights me up: creating impactful experiences through design, storytelling, and technology. I’ve taught university-level courses in creative design, 3D art, game production, and digital cinematography, and in 2011, I was honored with three Suncoast Emmy Award nominations for directing the commercial El Gladiador en Ti for Atlantic University.

In 2013, I co-founded Space Rhino Games—later known as SRG Studios—the first full game studio in Puerto Rico. As Studio Director and Producer, I’ve had the privilege of building and leading exceptional teams, partnering with top-tier publishers like Applovin/Lion Studios, Voodoo, NBC Universal, and Crazy Labs. Together, we’ve launched games that have reached over 200 million players around the world.

Most recently, I served as Game Director for Champion Shift, a multiplayer roguelike for PC/Console developed in partnership with Photon (Exit Games)—a project that combined my love for gaming with the thrill of team-driven innovation.

At my core, I’m a builder. I thrive in the space where vision meets execution, where passion meets discipline. I believe that putting people—especially players—first leads to extraordinary results. Whatever the next challenge is, you can count on me to go all in, lead with purpose, and bring the impossible to life.
