JAVIER ALVAREZ CALLEJA
DEVELOPER PORTFOLIO
My name is Javier Alvarez Calleja and I am a professional Unity developer. Since I became a developer I have participated in many projects, worked with very interesting people and released some cool and successful products during a span of over 4 years. Welcome to my website, I hope you will enjoy scrolling through my projects and things. It would be awesome to hear from you soon if you like what you see here.
I am a Unity Developer with over 4 years of professional experience. I have worked on many VR & AR projects. I have a solid understanding of multi platform development having deployed and maintained apps for Steam, Oculus, Android and iOS stores. I have worked in different environments using distinct implementations of VERSION CONTROL and AGILE development sprints.

"I worked as a producer on a number of projects with Javier. Not only is he inherently a talented developer with a strong creative flair,
he noticeably adapted and grew into the role, showing a true ability to advance himself. He is perhaps the best estimator I have worked alongside,
and has a genuine skill at finding alternate solutions. Perhaps most importantly, he is tremendous fun to work alongside - I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him."
Ciaran O’Connor, Developer Relations Manager at Unity Technologies
"Have known Jav for three years now, bringing him into Curiscope as our first employee.
In this time I've seen him grow from somebody starting with Unity to a competent mid-level developer who has increasingly
taken on more responsibility as we've given it to him. He's a great problem solver and is able to dive deep into very complex subjects."
Ed Barton, Director of Business Development at Moshi Sleep
I have worked both as a permanent employee and a freelance contractor. I have been part of great teams on site and I have also done fully remote projects as a freelancer.
This is an Oculus Quest VR experience commissioned by Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult. This experience consists of a virtual tour where users can freely explore the client’s hi-tech installations and learn about its features and equipment. I worked in this Unity project as the sole C# programmer, fully remote, collaborating with creatives and artists with Unity Collaborate.

I worked at Nexus Studios for a period of three weeks building a concept prototype of an AR experience for iOS using latest ARKit3 features such as SLAM while experimenting with novel exploration mechanics for the AR content to use immersion as a storytelling tool.

This app was commissioned to Solarflare Studio and was meant as a part of an exhibition area by ARM at the Mobile World Congress 2020. At the end of a tour, a single visitor or a group would be offered to pose for a picture. This picture will be enhanced with 3D content related to the exhibition using ARKit3’s SLAM and Human Segmentation technologies. The picture would be finally uploaded to the server on the spot for the visitor to retrieve it.

During my time at Vision3 I combined the update and maintenance of high end PC VR experiences for exhibitions and events while also doing R&D on new ways of producing VR video content.

My first job as a professional developer was at Curiscope. While working there 4 successful products were released:
By combining a printed t-shirt and AR technology Virtuali-tee is able to deliver mesmerizing educative content like very few can. It renders a high quality 3D representation of the human body that the users can explore and interact with.
I worked in this project over a 3 years span. I was responsible for the storefront updates on all versions, adding new content such as localisation packages and for performing bug fixing tasks while the product was live.
