Hello there! 👋 I'm Joan, and these are some of my very first baby pictures. I was born and raised in El Masnou, Barcelona, Spain, a charming coastal town by the sea.
As you can imagine, I don't hold many memories from this time, but my parents have always told me that I was a curious and cheerful baby 👶.

Since my early teenage years, my curiosity and interest in technology grew, especially in entertainment fields such as games and movies.
During those years I spent a lot of time in front of a screen, whether it was a PC or a console.
That initial interest eventually turned into a deep passion. 🎮

In my exploration of various interests, I found myself deeply drawn to the complexities of the 3D realm, the logic of mathematics, and the structure of geometry. However, it was the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of video games that truly captured my imagination. Ultimately, recognizing my affinity for problem-solving and innovation, I made the decision to pursue Computer Science.💻
Once entering university, I chose to specialize in Computing, which embrace fields such as Artificial Intelligence, algorithms and computer graphics. During my education, I selected relevant subjects such as Video Games, Computational Geometry, and Design of curves and surfaces. 📚
Finally, in 2021, I culminated my academic career by graduating as a Computer Engineer at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (FIB, UPC), where I could materialize my passion for computing and disciplines related to the 3D world. 🎓

I have always found time to dedicate to another of my favorite hobbies: traveling and sharing special moments with friends.
During my adventures in Asturias, Tarragona, and Galicia, within Spain, I have immersed myself in their natural beauty, explored new cultures, and created unforgettable memories with my loved ones.
These destinations are just a few among many that I have visited in Spain. Each travel trip has been an opportunity to disconnect, discover fascinating places, and enrich my life with unique experiences. 🚞

As someone who loves being part of the video game creation process, I've participated in various Game Jams. Sometimes, I team up with my friend Victor, and other times, I work as a solodev. These events really push my creativity. 👾
Together, Victor and I took one of our projects, STARDUSTER, and expanded it into something more significant. We're currently planning its release. You can catch us in the photos from Spain's Indie Dev Day, where we showcased the project to the audience.

EXPERIENCE
FLOORFY S.L.
November 2020 - April 2022 (1 year and 5 months)
Floorfy SL is a leading company in virtual reality and 3D visualization technology, specialized in creating immersive experiences for the real estate industry. Based in Barcelona, Floorfy offers innovative solutions that allow customers to explore properties virtually through 3D tours, thus facilitating the visualization of spaces and decision-making in the process of buying or renting real estate.
Its WebGL platform, developed in Three.js, provides an intuitive and immersive experience on both desktop and mobile devices. Working at Floorfy SL provided valuable experience in the development of WebGL projects and the implementation of technological solutions for the real estate sector.
November 2020 - July 2021 (8 months)
During this period, I completed my Final Degree Project at FLOORFY. The company has a WebGL project developed in Three.js, enabling customers to embark on 3D virtual home tours from both computers and mobile devices. My responsibilities included creating a catalog featuring 3D models and implementing new functionalities for home furnishing.
Additionally, I designed a collision system from scratch capable of accommodating any 3D model in any room or environment, significantly enhancing the user experience.
Throughout this experience, I refined my skills in Three.js, JavaScript, GLSL Shaders, and 3D Mathematics, contributing to the project's success and acquiring new competencies.
Additionally, I achieved a final grade of 9.2 for my degree project. You can view the project here.
Software Engineer, 3D
July 2021 - April 2022 (9 months)
At Floorfy, I spearheaded the development of enhancements, new functionalities, and ongoing maintenance and optimization of the furnishing application. My role involved leveraging advanced 3D concepts such as lighting, shadows, and reflections, as well as employing rigorous 3D mathematics and optimization algorithms to streamline performance.
Additionally, I focused on optimizing geometries and textures to enhance visual fidelity and overall user experience. Using tools like Blender, WebGL, and GLSL Shaders, I played a pivotal role in elevating the application's capabilities and performance.
NOMOKO A.G.
August 2022 - November 2023 (1 year and 3 months)
Nomoko was a leading 3D visualization technology company based in Switzerland. It was known for developing innovative solutions that enable the creation of realistic virtual environments using advanced graphics rendering techniques.
Its focus was on providing immersive, high-quality experiences for a variety of applications, including architecture, real estate, and urban planning. Nomoko stood out for its ability to generate detailed and accurate three-dimensional models, offering its clients a unique and complete view of projects and spaces.
August 2022 - July 2023 (11 months)
As a 3D Frontend Developer, I utilized JavaScript, React, and TypeScript in conjunction with Three.js to enhance the visualization of 3D models on the company's real estate website. During this period, I also liaised with the 3D model provider responsible for the level of detail of the models.
Additionally, I created several shaders in Three.js to achieve the desired appearance as specified by the designers. I developed tools to empower designers to directly manipulate and refine the aesthetics of the 3D models according to their vision.
Moreover, I integrated Mapbox into the development process, leveraging its capabilities to reference 3D models within the world context. This involved utilizing geometric and 3D mathematical concepts to accurately position and visualize models within the Mapbox environment.
Furthermore, I optimized code to improve performance and user experience, ensuring smooth interactions and fast loading times on the website.
3D Software Engineer
