Currently I am self-employed, working primarily on freelance projects. This includes programming work on video games, most notably using Unity and Unreal Engine, mobile app development, IT consultancy, and various research projects as well.

In my role at WW1 Game Series, I was primarily responsible for handling the console ports (PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Xbox Series) of the games Verdun, Tannenberg and Isonzo. This included:- Integrating with third-party APIs and online services.- Building abstraction layers for handling platform services in a unified manner.- Monitoring quality and dealing with crash reports.- Optimizing performance and providing the team with performance metrics.- Setting up automated processes for building and deploying releases.- Managing communications with various platform holders.A major challenge for a remote team working on console games is the dissemination of console devkits. Due to a lack of available devkits, the majority of the team had limited insight on the status of the console ports and the challenges involved. This meant that responsibility for handling the console side of development gradually shifted more and more towards me.Though I officially left the team at the end of 2022, I have spent quite a lot of time throughout 2023 transferring my knowledge to other team members and consulting on various console-related issues that cropped up.Also in 2023, I temporarily returned to the team to implement the FSR 2.2 upscaling technique, vastly improving image quality and performance of the game Isonzo, for both PCs and consoles.

While working freelance for Lagotronics, I developed an Unreal Engine 4 plugin for processing data from their proprietary LagoTrig ride control system, to allow integration into a 3D game. This was initially built for a cancelled interactive amusement ride project for a large Chinese customer.Later on, I worked on building an easy-to-use editor for visualizing and simulating tracking devices within a 3D environment, built in Unity. This editor was to be used primarily with VR headsets in amusement halls.Additionally, I helped to optimize processing speed of motion tracking data on Android phones, for use in a Samsung Gear VR headset.

At Lagotronics Projects I primarily worked on a C# application for controlling a physical game, intended for recreational parks. This involved controlling hardware, processing tracking data, calculating player positions and executing game rules, as well as an accompanying user interface and 3D visualizations.I intend to continue working for Lagotronics Projects on freelance basis.

During my initial stint working for the WW1 Game Series team, I was primarily focused on optimizing performance for the game Verdun. My most important contribution in this time was devising a novel way of combining small detail objects to reduce CPU overhead, which yielded a significant performance boost.However, my tenure on this team would be cut short by the sudden passing of my father. I rejoined the team again in late 2017.

After a somewhat mixed experience in the Dutch game industry, I decided to move back towards a more stable working environment and took a job as Mobile Developer (C#, Xamarin) at EsperantoXL in De Meern, near Utrecht.Here I worked on various mobile app development projects for a number of large customers, including NS (Dutch Railways) and DHL Parcel, both the Dutch and UK branches. My work for NS mostly involved maintenance of several Windows Mobile apps for the scanners carried by conductors, but also migration of an internal registration system to a modern server environment. For DHL I primarily worked on a navigation app for Android that allows couriers to plan and drive their delivery routes more efficiently.In addition, I also worked on an in-house project called RoutiGo, which is a cloud-based version of the product we made for DHL, aimed at small to medium-sized transport companies. Here I worked on adapting the backend to turn it into a more generalized product, building a web application that allows planners to inspect routes before releasing them to the couriers, as well as taking care of the automated deployment process and maintaining the cloud servers.
