About Me

Hi! I'm André Pascual, a game developer and engineer from California, studying Computer Science (Games) at the University of Southern California (USC). The USC Games Program is recognized as the #1 game design program in North America by the 2020 Princeton Review. I'm graduating May 2021.

My college career has given me experience in many aspects of engineering including gameplay, graphics, systems, and self-written game engines. I have worked with interdisciplinary teams of up to 20+ people to create wonderful games using Unity and Unreal Engine 4. I choose to work in games because they are dynamic and constantly evolving which gives me opportunities to push myself and improve my skills as a game developer.

Aside from playing and making games I'm a nerd when it comes to Star Wars, Marvel, anime and pro wrestling. I also like to stay active with hikes, biking, and basketball.
