About Me

I'm Juan Ospina Bustamante, a Graphics and Gameplay Programmer and lifelong gamer. My passion for gaming inspired me to pursue a degree in Computer Engineering, followed by a game development master's degree at the Guildhall at SMU. I'm constantly learning about innovative rendering methods and techniques and enjoy putting them into practice. With a strong attention to detail and love for problem-solving, I thrive in team environments where we can bring projects to life.
