“I’m Daniel Montero, a Biology teacher and video game developer with Unity. For many years I have dedicated my life to teaching, a field that has taught me the value of perseverance, empathy, and continuous learning.
My curiosity about understanding how things work (from living organisms to lines of code) has led me to explore new paths within the world of development. Learning has always been one of the guiding threads of my life: I studied Biology, specializing in Molecular Biology, passed the competitive exams, and obtained my position as a high school teacher. I also learned English and French. I have also dedicated time to music, playing guitar in several rock bands, and I’ve developed an interest, secondarily, in the world of drawing and animation, especially traditional 2D animation.
A few years ago, I discovered programming and the world of video game development, and since then I have devoted much of my time to self-learning, especially (but not exclusively) C# and Unity. I am currently in the second year of the Higher Vocational Training course in Multiplatform Application Development (DAM), where I continue to expand my knowledge and skills in the development world.
To this day, I have published a few games on Google Play and itch.io and I am looking to join video game projects as a programmer in order to complete the FCT internship for the Higher Degree in Multiplatform Application Development (DAM) and, why not, to become a permanent part of the project.”

With the aim of improving my technical skills and organizing and consolidating knowledge, I began studying the higher vocational course 'Multiplatform Application Development' (DAM) at IES El Grao in Valencia. I am currently in the 2nd year and looking for a project to carry out my final internship.
Combining two of my passions and taking advantage of the experience from the previous year, I started developing a quiz game to help my students prepare for the biology PAU exam. Currently still in development.
I managed to teach an elective subject for 4th-year ESO students where I taught them to program in C# and create a small quiz game in Unity, available on GitHub. The elective was a success.
I developed and published on Google Play my second complete mobile game: 'Dogs And Puppies: Dress them up!'. A children’s game with a monetization system through In-App Purchases. I earned the Teacher Approved certificate from Google.
Together with a professional neuropsychologist, I developed a version of 'Symon Says Colorines' to adapt it for use as a tool for cognitive stimulation in rehabilitation therapy.
I developed and published on Google Play my first complete mobile game, 'Symon Says: Colorines', with the sole purpose of testing my knowledge. I included monetization through ads, a leaderboard implementation, and reward systems.
I developed my first mini project 'Long Bridge To Salvation' for the Game Jam organized by YouTuber Alva Majo: 'Tu juego a Juicio Jam'.
I passed the competitive exams for secondary education teaching and obtained my position as a public school teacher in the Valencian Community.
I began studying programming in C# and development in the Unity game engine on my own.
I worked as an associate professor for 3 years at CEU Cardenal Herrera University.
I worked for 2 years as a teacher in a French-speaking school in Brussels.
I began working as a secondary education teacher.
I studied Biology, specializing in Molecular Biology.
