Hi, I'm Seppe!

I adore learning new things and am always excited for new challenges.
I'm goal-oriented and focus on always improving, and my past in OT has given me many tools for solving problems.
Also an HTML newbie!
My Work
Footie Frenzy
[GROUP PROJECT] A 2 programmer 2 artist project where the focus is on planning and gaining experience for real work environments.
My role was a lot of prototyping, making a new UI system for Unreal, and finishing the ability for the alien.
Important things I learned is about documentation, communicating in a team + the tools to do so and breaking down larger scale problems.
Wave Function Collapse
[SOLO RESEARCH] Researching, Trying out and finding the benefits of the WFC algorithm
Key learning aspects were in practicing documentation, and learning to be even more critical. Learning downsides of a topic is as valuable as learning its upsides.
Plunder 'n Pints
[GAME JAM] A game jam of 2-3 days with 5 people total.
My first experience working in a multidisciplinary team in the context of game creation.
A pirate game where 2 players share 1 keyboard that is constantly shuffling, a twisterrrrrr-game as some would say.
My first contact with the UE5 UI system, finding fast solutions for problems coming up throughout the game-jam.
Vulcan instanced rendering
[SOLO PROJECT] Instanced rendering done through the vulcan renderer, combineable with other pipelines
Exploring a new engine, delving deeper into graphics programming and testing it with optimisation through instancing.
About me and my journey
Hi! I'm Seppe, a 26 year old Game Development student at Digital Arts and Entertainment.
I'm a last year student who has also done a bachelor in Occupational Therapy before this.
I started doing Occupational Therapy because I'm passionate about helping people and love to apply anything I do in a creative way.
I've gotten experience being an OT mostly around the topics of Disabilities and Substance abuse. My years doing this have taught me invaluable skills such as teamwork, person/project based approach, flexible problem solving, and working independently.
So why am I now a Gameplay Programmer? Well as much as I loved my job, I've had an itch to do more with maths and sciences. It's something I didn't need as much in my younger years but always had a passion for.
In a now or never moment of my life I decided to make a similar choice I made when choosing to study OT: do the creative application of my interests.
This brought me to Digital Arts and Entertainment!
For the last 3 years I've been adoring every step of the way. The math is new and challenging, but gives a great motivation to put work into learning it.
My problem solving skills help me tremendously in finding ways to fix problems and help me work on my projects.
You could say Programming has been my passion while at school, but it truely is the learning aspect and the cognitive challenge that has kept me happy to keep on pushing through with my decision.
To give a summary about myself: I love challenges and learning. I want to keep improving my programming skills and focus on code-cleanliness.
I thrive with teammates but also want responsibility for my own job.
