Messi Metaverse Experience

What I did

• Stepped in to lead the programming and art teams mid-development when the project was facing cancellation from the client due to unmet quality expectations.
• Executed a complete overhaul of both code and art under a strict two-month deadline, successfully reviving the project and securing full client validation and satisfaction.
• Led the technical decision making for the character creation pipeline and closely supervised the production of 3D and 2D assets, animations, and levels.
• Directed end-to-end development of gameplay features including story mode, minigames, avatar customization, and selfie mode.
• Optimized frame rate performance while preserving visual fidelity through advanced rendering techniques, including vertex animation textures, ambient occlusion baking, and foveated rendering.
