With more than 8 years of experience in the AAA industry as a professional plus another 8 previous years as a modder/mapper (Specially for Source Engine), Enrique started his career as Game /Level Designer when he joined Pyro Studios in 2007 to work on a (later cancelled) game titled COPS.
A year later he got a job at Yager Development, studio settled in Berlin, to work in a game called "Spec Ops: The Line", which was critically acclaimed as one of the most influencial but undervalued games from the seventh generation. Right after releasing "Spec Ops: The Line", Yager Development started working on a sequel for Dead Island, one of the most succesful IPs from the same generation until differences on the game's vision arised between developer and publisher, which led to Dead Island 2's cancellation in 2015, although it was later resurrected and launched in 2023 by Dambuster Studios.
Enrique kept working at Yager Development for another extra 6 months on prototypes and pitches before, finally, quitting and moving back to Spain in 2016. A few months later, in 2017, he joined a local indie studio in Seville named The Game Kitchen to work on what later became one of the most succesful Spanish indie games in the recent years: Blasphemous. Since then, Enrique has participated in the complete production of Blasphemous along with all its DLCs, as well as the base version of its sequel Blasphemous 2. His last job as Lead Level Designer has been The Stone of Madness, a production he joined a year and a half before its release as a reinforcement in the design team.
