Games that feel good to play.
C++ game engineer with an M.S. in Computer Science. I build the systems that make games feel right.
Featured Projects
Tumbile Tiles Web
Web App · Javscript · Web DeveloperImplements the tumble tile model as designed by Robert Schweller and Tim Wylie. This project was done for the Algorithmic Self-Assembly Research Group (ASARG) at the University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley.
Communicative NPC
AI NPC · Unity · Full-StackDeveloped a 3D RPG featuring custom spawners and a climactic boss room. The boss enemy leverages a dual-LLM architecture to dynamically decide actions and dialogue based on its current mood state. Integrated ElevenLabs for real-time voice synthesis, enabling fully voiced NPC responses. Built a voice-to-voice pipeline where players speak to the boss and receive spoken replies creating an immersive, AI-driven combat experience.

Hi, I'm Ramiro.
C++ game engineer and college instructor based in Austin, TX. I teach C and C++ at the community college level and build games focused on the systems and visual effects that make gameplay feel alive. I'm drawn to the mechanics and rendering details that players feel more than they see.
Let's build something great.
Have a project in mind, or hiring for a team that ships? I'm open to the right opportunity.
