J. Alberto Gandullo Avila graduated from the University of Seville after a 5-year course in computer science (BA/MA). After this, he worked in Seville as a software developer in the field of enterprise management tools for more than 3 years. However, he always liked other fields such as computer graphics and mobile software more, so he began to self-train in the development of mobile apps and mobile games, specifically in the new technology of augmented reality; this was his first contact with the Unity game engine. Thanks to his proficiency in this field, in 2013, he was hired in London (UK) by a small start-up dedicated to the development of educational video games for mobile devices based on augmented reality. At this stage, he became an expert in developing games using technologies such as C# and Unity. After one and a half years in London, Alberto was hired in Bangkok (Thailand) by a company dedicated to developing F2P games for mobile devices.
