I'm a software developer with experience in game development, as well as tools/SDK programming. I take great pride in my academic, professional, and personal projects; placing a great deal of effort into them all.
Currently employed at CoolGames Amsterdam, as a Game Developer Intern.
I also enjoy philosophy and writing, am learning Japanese, and my favourite programming language is C++!
I was fortunate enough to join CoolGames as the first-ever multiplayer Angry Birds left the prototype stage. My primary project I was assigned to, and soft-launched in multiple territories, I was a developer on the project, which meant co-operating with designers and artists on a plethora of features to ensure the product met both internal and external standards.
Whilst I was primarily assigned to Angry Birds, inter-team collaborations meant that I worked on the other active projects, which includes but isn't limited to Battleships and Tetris (for Facebook Instant), Jewel Academy and Snake, as well as the framework/engine that powers these titles.
SCP: Containment Breach is a free survival horror game based on the SCP Foundation works of fiction, played by thousands of people.
Originally a modder working on the Box of Horrors mod, it was very well-received, enough to be merged into the main game.
A library of modular, plug-and-play AI algorithms in C++, currently supporting the basic bruteforce algorithms, as well as A* and its variants, in grid-based node maps.
The example shown is an implementation of said library, using A* Epsilon for agents and Breadth-First for random level generation.

A small port of Pokemon Blue's engine to C++, made for a university assignment.
To demonstrate what experience and knowledge I had gained at CoolGames, I created my own JS game engine, primarily aimed towards the Facebook Instant platform, but modularised enough that with little modification, other platforms are viable. Click the image to play a small Flappy Bird clone made in the engine.
As a way of helping myself and others in the early stages of learning Japanese, I created the DailyNihon bots; a series of bots that tweet daily kanji, katakana, and hiragana, along with pronunciation and meanings (in the case of kanji). Powered by NodeJS and open-source dictionary files.
An open-source engine/framework for adding interactive narrative to games, or making visual novel games. Originally written in C++, the current version leverages the Unity game engine (C#). Closes the gap between author and programmer by utilising a custom-built, extensible, lightweight scripting language.
A port of the March22 engine to the PSVita, using lpp-vita (a Lua engine). Utilizes Ren'Py (python) game script as source, and compiles into Lua via a C++ algorithm, for multi-platform usage.
A small project, RPY-eBook is an algorithm that parses .rpy game script (Ren’Py visual novel scripts) and output an eBook-friendly file that allows the "game" to be read on tablet or ebook devices, such as a Kindle.
A 2D isometric engine, intended for dungeon-crawler games, succeeding the Atla engine. Designed, built, and optimized from the ground-up to support many AI agents, using techniques such as spatial partitioning.
