About Christian Benavides
Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience in professional game development, specializing in Tools, Engine, and Asset Pipelines using C++.I served as Tools Lead Engineer on New World through its PC and Console launches, as well as major expansions. My work focused on improving world-building workflows, optimizing editor performance to accelerate iteration, and implementing geometry processing systems (using Simplygon) for LODs and long-distance rendering. On the engine side, I supported large-scale world streaming and developed automated post-processing pipelines.I’ve acted as the primary point of contact for our proprietary tools and pipelines, helping engineers, designers, and artists work faster and more creatively.
