About Me

My name is Francisco Ivan Figueroa Valadez and since it is a long name I use Ivan FigVal as my business nickname. I am senior at Ferris State University in the Digital Animation and Game Design Program with concentration on Game Development. I have worked with 3Ds Max, Maya, Substance Painter, Unreal Engine and Unity. I have also worked with C#, C++, Java and Python. I am currently looking for a job in the game industry as a Game Developer or Technical Artist for when I graduate. I am currently doing an internship in Fort Miami Games where I work in Unity as a Game Developer. The things I have worked the most and learned are UI design and Networking. I have done projects for classes or Game Jams that where made in Unreal Engine, games like Evelyn's Doll, Bubble Brawl, and more that you can find on my portfolio website.

When I graduate I would like to work on AAA games or Indie games, I would like to work in a team with other developers and artists to create a game that is fun and engaging for the players. Games like Assassins Creed or Halo are my favorites.
