About me

I am a fourth-year Creative Media & Game Technology student at Hanze University of Applied Sciences, with particular interest in multidiscplinary fields. Approaching the problem from unexpected angles and finding ways to merge other people's ideas with my own brings me great joy.

I feel most satisfied whenever I battle challenging tasks that require out-of-the-box thinking and persevere until I find the solution. It is important for me to take responsibility for my mistakes and acknowledge the setbacks I have encountered to grow professionally.

I do not feel intimidated by countless fields of knowledge, no matter how puzzling they may look at first. My main focus lies with programming, but my curiousity always pushes me forward.
