About me
Hi, my name is Dan.
I come from the warm city of Hermosillo, México. I've been living in Vancouver, BC for almost a year. I've had experiences fullfilling roles as a Gameplay Engineer, Systems Engineer, Game Designer and Level Designer. I grew up playing games, so I've always been very self-driven and motivated by my passion for them.
