# Christian Vega Munguia > making america make stuff again βš™οΈ Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/christianvegamunguia I’m a Software Engineer with ~4 years of experience and a background at the intersection of tech, finance and media, currently building Kaiju Cards, a crypto-native roguelite deckbuilding game. I previously worked as a Site Reliability Engineer at Visa, and graduated from UT Austin in 2020 with a bachelor’s in Quantitative Finance. I had internships in investment banking and asset management, but naturally gravitated towards software development after I found myself writing Excel macros for fun. When not working, you can find me discovering new genres of electronic music or planning my next long-travel trip.
