I was born in Belgium in 1994. I have a degree in theoretical physics, I am mostly interested in physics, computer simulation, science fiction and of course video games.

Profile picture

My first real contact with game development happened at the beginning of my studies in physics, when I had to make a text-based game for an entry level programming course. I enjoyed the work so much that I decided to work on new projects during my spare time. I learned a lot from each and finished one game after the other. It wasn't until my last years in majoring in physics that I realized I might want to make a career out of game development.

After an unusually short experience with a phd project, I found my way to a game development job at KU Leuven. My job was to make, expand and fix games for scientific purposes, in particular to package hearing tests and exercises in child-friendly games. This job came to an end as the pressing need for game development in the department was met, and the funding went to more in depth c++ development.

After KU Leuven I joined a small startup in Ghent by the name of Creative Therapy. My job here is to build software and games for a specialized pressure/led matrix mat designed for use with physical therapy. So-called exer-games are used to replace boring therapy sessions for children and motivate patients to keep up their therapy at home and over months of time.

I still work on my own projects when I can find the time. Updated at 02/10/2021 I'm working out a concept for a new factory building game.
