Hi!
My name is Alvaro Barúa and I am a Peruvian Graphics Engineer.
I started game development as a hobby back in 2011 when I started university, in 2014 I landed my first professional game development job in the Peruvian games industry, whereas small, this was a game changer for my career. During my time as a game developer, I found out that what I like the most about it, is working on the low-level aspect of it, in other words, working on the engine.
Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to getting better mainly in the graphics and tools departments in which I feel the most challenged and where I get greater satisfaction.
I currently hold a Bachelors’ degree from Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas in Computer Sciences and a MSc in Computer Game Engineering from Newcastle University.
