Engine & Tools

Games programmer studying at Breda University of Applied Sciences, specializing in engine development and tools programming. I enjoy creating tools and systems that streamline workflows and help teams work more efficiently. With experience across custom C++ engines, Unreal Engine, Unity, I bring both technical expertise and strong communication skills to collaborative projects.

In my spare time, I apply programming in my robotics team and game jams. Feel free to get in touch!
