Bio
Ramon Hernandez
Albert and I worked together during the development of Light of Alariya. As one of the leads for that project Albert showcased impeccable leadership skills as he managed 15 level designers as they dove headfirst into the newly released Unreal Engine 5. Not only did Albert had to lead the team's designers on learning a new engine, but also on how to create Guildhall's first open world game. Albert was also excellent in communicating and collaborating with the art team, in informing us of any assets the level designers would need. One thing I can definitely say about Albert is how much he cares about the project he is a part of. While it might have gone unnoticed by some, Albert cared so much about the state of the game that I would see him working after hours to make sure we created the best game we could. I cannot recommend Albert enough for any level designer positions and he would be a valuable asset to any team.

I have worked with Albert on the project Light of Alariya and have always been impressed by his ability to create memorable levels and well-organized management as a lead level designer. He always plans for all the level design tasks and can quickly react to changes. His levels are always well-balanced and efficiently crafted, with a great sense of pacing and progression. I would highly recommend him for any level design role.
