Livio De La Cruz

Introduction

Hello! I've been making games for 10 years. It started as a hobby in 2008, then I graduated with a computer science degree in 2014, then I worked at Microsoft for two years, and then I started freelancing with indie studios and startups in 2016. I'm well known in the Seattle VR and Seattle Indies communities.

These days I currently specialize in C# + Unity3D. I live in Seattle, WA, USA.

I have a deep technical background, strong PM skills, and a lot of experience with the unique engineering challenges that come with creative projects. I have tons of experience in rapid prototyping, which makes me a great collaborator on projects that are still in early development.

Prior to freelancing, I worked as a Program Manager at Microsoft for two years, and I've interned at the game studio Riverman Media. I have a degree in Computer Science from the University of Arizona, where I also taught computer science as an undergraduate TA. I still teach programming and game development occasionally, thanks to some contracts that I've been landing.
