about

Hi, I'm Santi.

My full name's Santiago Gaete, but Santi is fine. My goal is to make cool things that inspire other people to make even cooler things.

I'm a student at the University of Southern California as a major in
Computer Science Games.

You can contact me at sgaetepe@hotmail.com or gaete@usc.edu :)

games

I like making 'em, that's for sure.

The Video Game™, to me, is the art form that brings together the greatest amount of different creative fields—and thus, the greatest amount of amazingly talented people that I want to learn from.

I'm a solo developer, a member of Besto Games, and a student at USC Games.

I'm capable as a generalist, and I'm working towards using my skills for tech art, game production, and technical game design.

I like running. I ran cross country and track in high school, and I'm now a member of USC's triathlon club. It's fun to do hard things!

Illustration and 3D modeling are a favorite of mine. Check out my art portfolio.

I also do photography often. Here's a recent album!

I love strategy games. Most recently, I've been competing in Pokemon VGC, and I've played at the regional level (and Worlds, technically.)

Manufacturing and fabrication is a big hobby of mine, and I'm currently a Student Worker at USC's Baum Family Maker Space. I handle 3D printing & laser cutting, because I'm most interested in how these machines can be used to produce art!
