About me
MY EXPERIENCE
I am a freelance game developer working from Belgium.
In June 2018 I graduated in Digital Arts and Entertainment (DAE) at Howest Kortrijk in Belgium.
Early February of 2018, 4 months before graduating, I moved to Dublin (in Ireland) for an internship at BlackShamrock, where I was offered a full time job after graduating.
2 years after moving to Ireland to work for BlackShamrock, I decided to move back to Belgium at the start of 2020.
Over the next 4 years I worked for several different game development companies in Belgium. These were, in order, Cyborn (in Antwerp), Cybernetic Walrus (in Antwerp), and Neopica (in Gent).
At the start of 2024 I started working full time as a freelancer (remotely) for a Swedish company called Co. Society (in Stockholm).
Since the start of my professional career, I have worked on 11 Different projects, in 3 different engines. After changing to a different code base and different engines so many times, I have become very good at hitting the ground running and quickly understanding a new project.
This is why I like to describe myself as a gamedev-paratrooper. I can be dropped in any project at any point in production and make myself useful very quickly.
