About Me
Hi! I am Finian.
I'm a junior C++/C# programmer specializing in gameplay programming.
I am currently studying Game Development (C++) at DAE Belgium.
Ever since I was but a wee lad, I have been fascinated by games. From
Star Wars Battlefront running on my dinky PSP, to creating experiences
for others to enjoy in LittleBigPlanet.
The concept of being the one to allow other people to experience the
same admiration as I have is something that brought me to this
position.
I enjoy working in teams where I can bounce ideas off of other devs.
It improves game and code quality tremendously.
Genuine communication with my collegues is what I strive for!
My main skills lie in developing gameplay to make the games feel
more memorable and punchy to play.
Naturally, I gravitate towards shooters,
racing games and story based games.
Learning is the cornerstone of developing skills,
therefore I am very open to learning new concepts or
development practices!
