Paolo Villanueva

Hello, I'm Paolo.

I'm a Creative Technologist and Software Engineer in Sunnyvale, California with more than a decade of experience in creative direction, experience design and production management for spatial computing, game development, and emerging technologies.

My work centers on crafting meaningful, impactful products by blending technical expertise with creative vision. Whether contributing as an individual, collaborating with teams, or leading as a manager, my goal is to empower others and inspire them to create and build.

In my spare time I hike with my dog, cook a variety of asian cuisines, and mentor young creatives enthusiasts and explore different interactive storytelling mediums.
