Hi! My name is Myriam Collada

Also known as Kaala Baloo, a videogame & interactive environment developer studying at UDIT.

I am very curious, passionate and always seeking new challenges and opportunities to grow. I´ve been taking coding courses since I was 8 years old, from making videogames on Scratch to printing 3D robots and programming their behaviour on Arduino. Right now I´m following my dreams by studying a Videogames & Interactive Enviroments Development and Design degree at UDIT, specializing on the programming and design branches.

I am a proficient programmer with a strong focus on C#, particularly within the Unity engine, where I have developed several projects. My experience also includes experimenting with basic AI systems and procedural generation algorithms. Additionally, I possess a solid foundation in C++, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript having built web pages and created prototypes using Unreal Engine.

I am a fast learner and confident in stepping out of my comfort zone. I have also worked with Python and SQL during hackathons and various projects, demonstrating my ability to adapt quickly to new technologies and environments.

I have worked as a concept and level designer in all of my projects, handling project documentation and creating prototypes to iterate and validate user experiences. I am especially proud of my work on Chulu's Janitor, which allowed me to showcase a wide range of my design skills.

As a designer, I take pride on my ability to understand the client´s requirements. Some of my winning projects on hackathons were praised for its thoughtful.

One of my proudest skills is my ability to motivate and organize teams, ensuring everyone performs at their best. I take great satisfaction in guiding projects from concept to completion, seeing them grow through the collective effort of the team. My passion for collaboration aligns with my strong enthusiasm for the SCRUM methodology, and I continuously seek to improve my skills as a producer to lead my team to success.

Driven by my passion for video game development, I have created seven games since 2021, all available on my Itch.io page. Currently, my college team and I are working on a more ambitious project in Unreal Engine, with plans to showcase its progress in the coming months.
