Available to hire
Hi, I’m Edgar José Velásquez Flores, an Unreal / XR Engineer based in the Netherlands. I design and develop Unreal Engine C++ plugins, gameplay systems, and SDK-ready XR integrations for VR/AR applications, with a focus on tooling, performance, and scalable adoption across teams.
I love turning complex requirements into robust, reusable tooling and SDKs, collaborating with partner studios and clients, and creating clear documentation and onboarding to help teams embrace innovative XR solutions. When I’m not coding, I enjoy exploring XR tech, training simulations, and sharing knowledge with peers to push the boundaries of immersive experiences.
