My experience as a developer is short, but it is increasing by the moment. For now, I consider myself passionate about this industry and a gamer looking for new meaningful experiences.


Master’s portfolio

I have studied a Master’s Degree in Video Game Design and Programming at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC).

Here you can see my complete student work:

Interactive Narrative research paper

Bachelor’s degree research work (TdR)

“La Narrativa Interactiva; Un nou paradigma en l’art de contar històries” (in catalan) is my first ever made research project. Even though I was young when making it, I think it is still valid in its hypothesis about the way we share stories and how interactivity opens a new world of communication for humankind.

This is an example of my interests in the academic field regarding video games and interactivity. I believe in the conjunction of both, the abstract/philosophic academic slope and the practical/actual development of the video game industry.

It also includes a practical part where I compare a “common” linear narrative of a literature story: H.P. Lovecraft’s “Call of Cthulhu” vs the interactive narrative of a video game: Bloodborne (PS4). This way I bring to shape the weaknesses and strengths of each storytelling.
