Hi Five
- Role: Technical Game Designer
Develop an interactive experience that follows the Physical rehabilitation process for Patients with Parkinson’s disease. This experience serves as an extraction tool to gather information via a MOCAP System about the player/patient state. After that, visualize the information stored in a Relational DB by a standalone application.
This prototype was developed to test different ways to interact and gather information from the patients using the Mocap System on a physical rehabilitation center.
This project became my thesis.

About me
My friends are my power.
I am a die-hard Star Wars fan with an intense passion for cinematography, music, and video games. I also love practicing sports, cooking and going on amazing adventures by playing Dungeons & Dragons. I have 2 dogs (That mean the world to me) and 2 siblings (that I love and admire).
One of my professional and personal goals is to develop meaningful experiences, which can ignite a spark of feelings in people’s lives, inspiring them to have a new vision about themselves and the world that surrounds them.
This is the impact that video games have had in my life, and I would love to have a career in which I can do the same.
I believe that my past experiences and projects have helped me grow and develop as an ethic and committed professional.
