About Me

Hi there!

I’m a passionate game programming student from Belgium.
 

I am currently studying at Haute Ecole Albert Jacquard (Namur) in my final year of my Bachelor's degree.


When I was a kid I would spend hours watching people play games on YouTube, which is what sparked my interest in games.

So I enrolled in a game development program after high school, and here I am, living the dream and learning something new every day.

My goal is to grow as a developer and one day contribute to games that leave a lasting impact on players.
