Game programmer · Console porting

Taking great games
to new platforms.

I'm Alvaro, a game programmer based in Wakefield, UK, focused on bringing games to console platforms.

I contributed to the Nintendo Switch 2 port of Red Dead Redemption and am currently working on another AAA game port for Switch 2.

I enjoy solving the engineering challenges behind a successful port: understanding how a game works, adapting it to new hardware, and helping preserve the experience for players.
