Jorge Diz Pico

Hey! My name is Jorge. I'm a guy currently living in Coruña (Spain) and working in Erlang/mobile development, but that's not all there's to know about me.

Bio

I love travelling and learning about other cultures. So far I have lived in Coruña, Vigo, Göteborg and Madrid. I speak Galician, Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and some German.

During university I was student representative, member of the university's reception committee, seminar and code jam organizer and founder and administrator of the unofficial student portal. I also went on exchange twice (to Göteborg and Madrid).

I like games, design, typography, etymology, and drinking milk with honey.

Cool stuff I did

I made an algorithm to generate random Super Mario levels for the Mario Championship at CIG 2012. It holds 1º place in points and percentage at the all time tally! (get the code)

I couldn't get enough of some of my favourite Twitter accounts, so I wrote a random generator of tweets based on their archive and let it run wild. Go read its computerized craziness at @MarkovUnchained (get the code).

With my friend Rodrigo, we wrote a cool platform game called Newton's Revenge during a 48-hour marathon. It's crazy but fun ‐ and making it was equally so (get the code).

If you also miss the old times with the Nokia phones you can play my recreation of the snake game (get the code).
