Hello!

My name is Daniel Alcala, a game programmer, game designer, and software engineer. I graduated from California State University, San Bernardino with a Bachelors of Arts in Computer Systems with a Concentration in Game Development.

In my free time, I tend to play and experience many games, mostly PvP games like League of Legends or Counter-Strike 2, to ARPGs like Diablo or Path of Exile, and many of hours in MMOs like World of Warcraft. I also tend to dabble in web development, music production, and cooking!
