Wonderment by Design

My role at Wonderment is as an XR developer. Creating new AR location based frameworks, designing and building AR projects for clients like Niantic, Defensie and Pokemon. While working here i’m constantly looking for new technologies to integrate into our projects such as ML image detection, Geospatial API and generative AI.

Popcore

While at Popcore i’ve worked on titles such as Parking Jam, Folding Blocks, Sandwich and Wrecking Ball and released over 10 new games as a developer. Working on hyper-casual games has taught me to get the basics right myself, engage players from the word go and to kill my darlings when they don’t show promise. Each project was built using Entitas, an ECS system that has made me rethink performance and code structure the more i’ve gotten to know it.

DTT Multimedia

I’ve been employed as a developer at DTT in Amsterdam. I got started as an intern, building a framework for cross-platform multiplayer AR applications and helping out on other projects like OSR and building apps to iOS and publishing them on the appstore. I worked my way to a sub-lead programmer of the Unity division of the company, also taking care of hiring new interns and employees and managing the workflow in the team.

Zwijsen

I’ve been a freelancer at Zwijsen, a publisher of children’s books. Here I built AR applications that augment the experience of reading books for children.

Letink Design

I started my programming career at Letink as an intern and working on school assignments with the company. After that i got hired as a VR developer and have learned about programming and finding my place in a professional working environment from working here.

Aryzon

In 2017 I worked on a couple of projects at Aryzon. Here I learned to make AR applications and work together in a start up company.

History

In my off-time i’m usually watching documentaries and reading about European and world history. I’m figuring out my own identity and place in the world which requires knowing about it first. In my work this helps me empathise with people and colleagues from all around the world

Cooking

As a vegan I needed to learn how to cook for myself. After a while I’ve started to enjoy cooking and baking new dishes for myself and others almost every day.

Religion

As a christian i should be able to understand and explain my worldview so i can be more self-assured and carry this love out to the world. I enjoy bible studies and talking with experts on the subject.

Music

I enjoy looking for diverse music and artists and going to concerts and festivals. I’ve been singing in a choir for years, played in musicals and enjoy playing guitar.

• Hard-working and determined: If something piques my interest, I’m very dedicated to my work, putting in long hours and effort to see an idea through.
• Independent: I’m able to stay calm and detached from sometimes emotionally charged conflicts, taking a breather and assessing problems from a distance.
• Open-minded: I’m as open as I can be to new ideas, supported by logic, especially if they prove my previous conceptions wrong.
• Jack-of-all-trades: Open-mindedness, independence and confidence make me capable of doing anything I set my mind to.
• Imaginative: Curious and always up for an intellectual challenge, I can see things from many perspectives.
