Well, this is me (I look kinda fat in the photo tho) I’m Juan and I started studying computer science back in 2003 and ended on June 2009. All my life I have had a deep interest in Computer Science, specifically in Computer Graphics.

I started to play with computer graphics back in the mid of 2005 when I got a job position as research assistant in the virtual reality lab of my University. There, I developed a collision detection system for a laparoscopic surgery simulator. This was my first experience with computer graphics but it opened my way to video games.

I worked for 8 months aprox at C2 Estudio (a small company that creates adver games and simulations) as a programmer. At C2 Estudio I got my first approach to Unity3D and learned the basics of  this awesome game engine.

After 8 months, I had to quit my job and focus on my thesis with jpemberthy,  which was a visualization of the Colombian Stock Market in 3D.

After graduating in mid 2009 I applied to a position for Technical Writing at Unity Technologies and got the Job here in Denmark. Currently I’m the guy who is in charge of all the documentation of the engine + I’m the guy who is making sure everything is explained as clear as possible on the engine.

Here is a list of what I have done, what I know and what I can do.

Skills:

• Proficient in Unity3D.
• Familiar with C/C++, Java.
• Proficient with GNU/Linux, MS Windows, Mac OS X.
• Familiar with OpenGL.

Honors and Awards:

• Assisted to Unite 2010.
• Assisted to Unite 2009.
• Participated in the Unity Awards 2008 with Indie Riffs.
• Participated in the Unity Awards 2008 with Project Cloudwitch.
• Premios GEMIS 2004 (Category: Data Structures and algorithms).
• Premios GEMIS 2005 (Category: Data Structures and Algorithms).

Research Assistant

Universidad EAFIT

(Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)

August 2006 — December 2007 (1 year 5 months)

• Developed the collision detection system for a laparoscopic surgery simulator using a collision hierarchy in order to find faster the triangle that collided with the laparoscopic instrument in C++.
• The team also focused on creating the physics model in order to make the simulator closer to reality.
• The last efforts with the simulator have been the creation of new hierarchies to envelop the triangles that form the organ.
