About

Indie game developer, making games under the name Frozen Fractal. Also doing remote freelance work.

Before that, I worked as a Software Engineer at Google Munich, and as a Site Reliability Engineer at Google London.

I studied Computing Science in Groningen, The Netherlands. I am experienced in C, C++, C#, Java, Kotlin, JavaScript and Python and have some experience with PHP, Perl, Ruby and Haskell, among others.

I am also the author of Taekwindow, a Windows utility that enables Alt+drag style moving and resizing of windows, common in many X11 window managers.
