Builder of the systems that run the servers I once played on as a kid. It brings me great satisfaction to make the tech that keeps many Garry's Mod servers valuable today.

With more than 6 years coding in Lua and a year of full-time freelancing for gmod communities, including some of the top 50 servers worldwide, I have refined what I can create for this game. Beyond Lua, I comfortably work with JavaScript, SQL, Git, React, and TypeScript. In addition to game and web development, my education gave me a strong foundation:

Bachelor's in Computer Science

Universidad Nacional del Sur | December, 2024

Learned computer science and software development. Fun Fact: I made my thesis about Garry's Mod! My thesis was on player behavior analytics, presenting insights through custom Tableau dashboards on data, extracted from a fully customized gamemode I made from base, and processed with Python. With my thesis, I achieved the highest possible grade (10/10).

Project Management

Universidad del CEMA | November, 2023

Learned project management, a skill that enabled me to turn ideas into reality with confidence. The course focused on PMI best practices for both agile and predictive methodologies.

I'm also deeply involved in the Spanish-speaking Garry's Mod community. I founded and manage a community of players and creators reaching over 1,200 members. Its Discord server is listed by Facepunch as the Argentine regional community server since 2021. Alongside this, I started a TikTok account in summer of 2025 to showcase creator projects and promote the game that reached over 1.5 millon views and grew an audience of more than 5,000 followers.

Outside Garry's mod, I enjoy Formula 1 (Alonso and Colapinto fan), running (I can run 5 km/3.1 miles in 30 minutes), classical music and cooking.
