I am a qualified Software Engineer / Programmer with knowledge and proficiency in a large number of development topics, as well as a qualified Game Designer.
I am open-minded and like to refine my existing skills as well as learning new ones and am not afraid of touching new techniques that I have not yet worked with. Due to my experience in multiple different languages and libraries/tools, I tend to get into new ones rather quickly.
My pet peeves are probably optimization (of both software and workflows), working with audio/video encoding & streaming media as well as cross-platform development. But have a look at my skills yourself in the list below.
Please note that I am currently only interested in part-time opportunities (up to 4 days/week).
Gaming:
This shouldn't be that much of a surprise, considering the Games Academy apprenticeship and the knowledge about 3D Engines. I started playing games when I was five years old, and haven't stopped since. I like to play all sorts of games from RPGs to trading card games and complex strategy games on the PC. Either alone or together with friends.
Programming:
Besides working as a programmer, I sometimes like to code some random stuff as a hobby and to learn new techniques. It is not my main leisure activity, but from time to time it's definitely fun.
Music:
I listen to music when I travel, when I'm at home, sometimes when working, etc. Without a doubt, music is very important to me, although I possess absolutely no skills in creating it, unfortunately.
Digital Media:
Another hobby of mine is the consumption of digital media, from YouTube to Netflix or Amazon Prime. I'm no stranger to losing some sleep due to binge-watching a series that I enjoy ;)
Languages:
Last but not least, I like to learn languages. This is of course a huge and very time intensive task, but I am doing my best to spend about an on it every day.
My current goal (as of 2023) is learning Finnish to pass the official language test.
