PacoChan

I love computers and video games since I was a little kid, and spend my time developing them or porting them to consoles.

Hi! My name is Miguel, but I am known as PacoChan or MaikelChan on the Internet. Since I was a little kid I love computers and video games, so I’ve spent most of my time playing, coding, translating and hacking them, along with 3D modeling and rendering. Nowadays I’m mainly a game developer that currently works porting games to consoles professionally.

This website contains different stuff I’ve been doing throughout my life and that I’ll keep doing. Make yourselves at home!
