Game Development
I am very slowly learning and experimenting with video game development. I've been exploring and using Godot and DragonRuby. I do it mostly as a hobby, but I'd really like to finish some of the many game ideas I have. So far I've only published a few things on my itch.io profile, like a Tetris clone and some graphic programming experiments.
Open Data Projects
I think taking advantage of Open Data is one of the ways we, as programmers, can make the world a better place. I have worked on some Open Data projects and events and I'm a member of DATA: an Open Data, transparency and information access NGO. Here are some projects I've worked on:
|
Montevideo Bicis |
Personal project, website with open data information related to cycling in the city of Montevideo |
