About me

PROFESSIONAL PATH

Hi there! My name is Tilman and I'm a programmer & web developer. I have an underlying love of video games, which is why I have just finished up a 4-year Computer Cames Development (CGD) course. I'm looking to work as part of a cozy game development studio, where we create meaningful games. Meanwhile, I aim to enrich my knowledge with side-projects that I am super passionate about.

I have experience using modern game engines to forge commercial games as well as personal projects, lots of which are of a collaborative nature. I have a rich background in back-end server programming with Node.js, which includes the use of technologies such as dynamic file serving, websockets, and databases. I also have a basic background in front-end web development. The use of a workflow that includes tools like Git and GitHub are common knowledge to me, too.

I have just finished up my 4-year Computer Games Development (CGD) course and am looking for work. If you have any work opportunities involving gameplay development or back-end server programming with Node.js, please shoot me a message on LinkedIn or send me an email!
