About me
My name is Sergio Prada, a Sr. Software Engineer at Unity Technologies, living in Montreal, Canada, where Unity relocated me from my native Colombia. My experience spans various domains: I started with brand activation games, moved on to creating virtual simulators, then developed multi-platform educational applications, and now I provide professional support to Unity's largest customers worldwide.
I speak Spanish and English, and I'm currently learning French. I am a proud father, enjoy video games, movies, technology, challenges, outdoor activities, and motorcycling. I plan to continue finding joy in life with my beautiful partner and family.
