About Me

I'm a 23 year old M.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering with a passion for game development.


I am currently working as a software engineer in the automotive industry doing safety-critical C++ programming of car software components. In my free, I enjoy studying graphics programming, game software architecture and general game development.


I used to use Unity and Unreal Engine quite a lot, but currently I have been mostly dedicating my free time to low-level game programming.
