Hi, I'm Juan

I'm a game programmer and software developer in Detroit with two engineering degrees and a habit of owning problems end to end. I came to games from industrial & systems engineering - processes, measurement, continuous improvement - and that shows up in how I build software: documented Git workflows, Jira epics with acceptance criteria, changelogs, and tests.

At Full Sail I graduated valedictorian in Game Development (computer science focus), where the program ran like a studio: five-person Scrum teams, sprint deadlines, and code that had to survive QA. I've built C++ combat and AI systems on a custom Vulkan stack, gameplay and state-management systems in Unity, and save/UI systems in Unreal Engine 5 - on top of coursework spanning data structures, operating systems, computer architecture, networks, databases, and AI.

By day I'm the Web Development & IT Manager at The Wooden Stone, a Michigan manufacturer, where I built and launched two production websites and I'm the technical point of contact when anything breaks - web, infrastructure, or internal tooling. Production responsibility teaches you what "done" really means.
