◆About
I build software that has to be fast, correct and shipped — whether it lives inside a game loop or behind a real-time service.
I'm a software engineer from Ecuador, based in Canada. For 5+ years I worked as a gameplay programmer, owning UI, mechanics and multiplayer features across Unreal and Unity. For the past 2+ years I've focused on Rust and C++ systems work — Cursor on Target pipelines, live-operations tooling and services that keep uptime.
I care about clarity: readable systems, tight feedback loops, and code that the next engineer — often one I'm mentoring — can extend without fear.

◆Testimonials
Patricio is the rare engineer who ships gameplay features and owns the systems underneath them. Our multiplayer combat only felt right after he touched it.
Independent Studio
He rebuilt our live-ops pipeline in C++ and cut deploy incidents in half. Clear code, clear docs, and calm under pressure.
Real-time Systems Team
Great mentor. He pairs, reviews, and writes things down. Two of our juniors leveled up months faster because of him.
