A short bio
I was born & raised in Groningen, The Netherlands, in a working class family.
My early interests consisted of cars, video games and computers. I’ve quickly got my hands on anything that made beep-boops up until age 14 when I taught myself the foundation of the programming skills I have today.
At age 18 I graduated high school and immediately landed a job at a local startup as a frontend engineer. Feeling frustrated with the tech industry within two years of working, I got into the local games industry.
Since then I’ve worked on commercial projects ranging from B2B serious games to commercial indie games.
I’ve also attempted to get my own projects funded and developed.
Outside games, I’m active in emancipatory political movements.

I’ve always loved using Notion for my personal and professional projects alike. One feature I was missing was the ability to integrate Notion with my calendar on my phone & smartwatch. So I made it a feature with my own tiny integration. Once I told my colleagues and friends about it, they wanted to use it as well. I made it it’s own platform which I called Notion Cafe. it features the Notion to Calendar integration, which allows you to hook up Notion to any iCal compatible calendar software such as Google Calendar, iCloud & Microsoft Outlook.
The platform now hosts >100k users and is actively being used across the world from entrepreneurs running their business to students using to plan their studying!
The integration is written in Rust, both on the backend and frontend. Database is Postgres, hosting platform is fly.io.
Most titles of the games are clickable for a link to a game page, where some are downloadable or playable in browser. I have way more prototypes and projects that didn’t make the cut of this portfolio. If you are interested more examples, prototypes & clearance for some NDA projects, contact me!
I worked as a performance consultant on Scrabdackle, making the game more performant for players! It was a pleasure to solve challenge related to upping framerate, decreasing loading times and improving game stability! This work included rewriting world loading code, changing how collisions worked to improve bossfight framerates, as well as a lot of miscellaneous fixes!
The game was made in Godot 3.x and is set to release in Q4 of 2025. Wishlist the game here!
