About

Hi! I’m a game & software developer specialized in working with Unity, with 5 years of experience. I have created gamified e-learning products from scratch in a Belgian startup that landed multiple 5 figure contracts with major clients. I have created multiple mobile game prototypes that reached less than $0.30 CPI. Currently working on my first steam release.

I’m open to both part time and full time positions. I can bill through either a Belgian (eu-wide) or Singapore entity.
