About Me

Hi! I'm Jan, and I like making games. I started experimenting with web development and Java when I was about 12 years old. I immediately fell in love and have been programming ever since. I started a Minecraft server network for which I created many different gamemodes played by tens of thousands of players over the years. I then did some freelance programming before joining Breda University of applied sciences' games programme. Here I learned a lot more about graphics programming, C++, deep learning and many other interesting topics. I graduated from Buas in 2022 and am now working as a rendering engineer at Traverse Research in Breda.

Besides programming, I enjoy playing guitar (poorly) and cooking. The cooking makes up for my bad guitar playing (at least in the eyes of my girlfriend!). Feel free to write me an e-mail if you would like to know more about me.
