About
Hi, I’m Juan Ricardo Rios Salcido, a passionate Game Developer and Technical Artist based in Guadalajara, Mexico. Over the years, I’ve specialized in both programming and digital art, combining my skills in Unreal Engine, Unity, and various 3D modeling tools to create engaging and visually appealing games. Collaboration, creativity, and adaptability are at the core of my work ethos as I love to deliver compelling gameplay experiences.
