About Me

Hello, I'm Brian! Nice to meet you. I'm a regular Belgian guy that likes video games ... a lot. So I decided to learn how to make them! I'm currently getting my professional bachelor in Game Development, and my plan is to get into the industry right after that! I also like to do web development, and I'm trying out blogging. In my (limited) spare time I play a game called EvE Online. If you have any questions, or would just like to have a chat, don't be afraid to send me an e-mail!

Education

As a highschool student, I studied Accounting & IT. This translated very well into what I currently study: Digital Arts & Entertainment with a Game Development Major at Howest in Kortrijk, Belgium. At the end of my studies, I will have a professional bachelor in Game Development. I'm a proud student, as our school recently got elected as the best game design & development school in the world by The Rookies!

Game Development

I have experience with most parts of the game dev pipeline (Gameplay , AI and graphics programming). I've played with networking, but only for a limited time. On top of my programming experience, I'm also familiar with parts of the art pipeline (Modelling, Texturing, Particles). For multiple projects, I've also done game and level design.

I enjoy game design and gameplay programming most.

Web Development

My main education is based around game development, but as a hobby I like to do web development on the side. I have experience with Python / Flask, and have setup several online apps for online gaming communities.

Management

As a hobby, I play games, and I have gained some experience in management because of this. I’ve been running an online English (EvE Online) community for 6 years now, and have helped create it’s IT backbone.
