My name is Bram van Elderen, I'm from the Hague, I am a software engineer by profession and also a game developer by hobby.
I have always had a big interest in anything related to computers from a young age, mainly due to me also being an avid gamer early on. Due to this i started programming from a young age, starting on writing some simple programs on
a TI-84 calculator to assist me during my school days.
Later i followed the "Informatica" (or Computer Science in english) course at the Hague University, at which point I could actually write some proper code and build cool software.
But because i always had an passion for game development before finishing the study i took a gap year to develop my own games, on my own but also gathering other like minded people and working together on games in a team.
After the gap year i finished the study at the Hague University by doing an intership for Fenêtre, that is where i stayed working as developer ever since.
Over the years I’ve acquired a wide variety of different skills in different areas. Below I've listed the skills i'm most comfortable with and use frequently.
