About Santiago

My passion is creating narrative universes and telling stories that transcend their medium. I am characterized by my writing skills and creative thinking without losing attention to detail.

As part of Bunny Beard Studio, we developed the video games Hector - Brawlformer Demo (2025) and Confín (2024), in addition to Las Aventuras de Capitán Tacho (2024), a newsgame for the transmedia investigation about food waste.

In 2022, together with Wiper Agency, we launched Koins, a racing game part of a transmedia universe that expanded through a comic and a short film. The game reached more than 22,000 races played.

In 2020, together with Pixeloide Studios, we published the video game Willian The Game in the iOS and Android stores. A puzzle and football game starring the player Willian Borges Da Silva, from the Brazilian National Team.

I studied Audiovisual Production in Buenos Aires Comunicación, then Game Design and Gamification Design at Image Campus.

During 2021/2022, together with FUNDAV, I produced Videojuegos en Serie, a documentary where in each episode we addressed a different discipline of video game development.

I was Head of Editorial Staff for the website [IRROMPIBLES] about video games and Editorial Secretary for the print version.

I wrote, edited, and directed several episodes of Abraham Osló, the first hybrid fiction series with unboxing videos that was broadcast on TNT Sports.

In the software development area, I have over 15 years of experience covering all types of projects. In my most recent job, I held the role of Lead QA Engineer, in charge of a team where we performed manual tests and developed automated tests.
