Iván Almanza
Tools & Pipeline Engineer/Platform & SDK
I make games and build the tools other people use to operate them: Unity Editor tooling, asset pipelines, developer-facing SDKs, and self-service authoring tools. Seven years across mobile, PC and console, including console porting and certification owned end to end. Currently at Scopely, building the platform tooling and SDKs the company’s live titles integrate.
