A snazzy picture of me in my wedding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

My name is Oscar Rodriguez. My interests focus mainly on game creation: programming, game design, 2D art and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a computer engineer, my main field of expertise lies in computers. I mostly focus on networking, computer graphics and algorithmics, as well as a whole lot of programming in as many languages as I can learn.I graduated from\u00a0Los Andes University<\/a>\u00a0in Bogota, Colombia, and then pursued my master\u2019s degree at\u00a0Ohtsuki Lab<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Keio University<\/a>\u00a0in Yokohama, Japan, as a recipient of the Monbukagakusho scholarship. I then worked for five years at\u00a0Sega<\/a>\u00a0in Japan, five more years at Google Japan<\/a>, and now I’m part of the Game Engineering team at AMD Japan<\/a>. Below, you can see which games I have contributed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite means of expression is pure homegrown ANSI C. However, most of my recent coding is done in Lua and C#, both of which I find to be quite enjoyable. Due to the circumstances, I commonly find myself writing in C++, Python, JavaScript or php. I particularly hate Java, even though I sometimes have to work in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have also coded in more than 20 other programming languages, ranging from the mainstream to the esoteric<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything in this website is in English, but I am also a native Spanish speaker, fluent in Japanese, and can string up sentences in French. Feel free to contact me by email, by writing to o-rodrig [at] rapapaing [dot] com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sometimes contribute to some other sites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
