Game · VR · AR Developer
Jaime Narváez — games and VR/AR experiences in Unity and Unreal Engine 5, from Colombia.
I turn ideas into playable experiences — on screen, in virtual reality and in augmented reality.
I'm a video game and XR developer. I work with Unity and Unreal Engine 5, building everything from shooters and gameplay systems to augmented reality apps for commercial clients and virtual reality experiences.
My systems engineering background (Universidad del Valle) gave me a solid foundation in C#, C++ and SOLID principles, and my curiosity took me beyond code: motion capture, MetaHuman, Houdini and DaVinci Resolve editing are part of my creative pipeline.
I believe the best proof that you master something is being able to teach it: since 2020 I've also been a game development tutor, which sharpens my communication and my ability to explain complex things simply.
A selection of what I've built in game engines and XR.
★ Featured projectIn developmentVideo game · Unreal Engine 5
First title of the Abya Yala saga: a video game franchise dedicated to the ancestral cultures of the Americas. Bacatá recreates a village of the Muisca culture, an indigenous civilization of the Colombian Andes: every hut was hand-modeled and textured, and the sunset lighting defines the game's atmosphere.

Since 2020 I've been a game development tutor with Unity at Kodland, guiding students from their first lines of C# to publishing their own games.
Years of teaching trained me to communicate technical ideas clearly — to students, teams and clients.
Shooters, runners, inventory systems and cinematics built live, class by class, project by project.
Every student learns differently. I adapt pace and approach so everyone reaches their goal.
