Hello! My name is Luc and I am a Software Engineer. This site is a place for me to centralize access to my personal and professional projects and to write about anything I fancy.
I used to teach students as a Teaching Assistant for the University of Groningen until I finished my MSc in 2020. I have taught a diverse range of subjects in Computing Science, from Advanced Object Oriented Programming to Software Startups and Requirements Engineering.
After my TA work I freelanced in the game industry for about 2 years, working with some truly talented people. Today I’m a backend software engineer at Belsimpel. I architect and plan robust solutions to complex problems, help implement them, and perform a number of business related tasks in between.
In my spare time I work on secret projects that either grow or wither from lack of attention, with this place being the first to hear about it.
What I do
Computer Scientists are blessed with the fact that we can wiggle ourselves into any field or subject that peeks our interest. Smart algorithms and computational models can describe anything from the likelihood of enjoying a movie to the collision of galaxies between millions of stars. I am no different, and have worked on things such as:
- Language learning platforms
- Reversible computing
- Programming retro game consoles
- Game development tools
- Visual novel game engines
- Competitive e-commerce backend systems
- Emulation
- Porting games to different platforms
- Gameplay programming
…and more. Want to read about some of the things I do? Then the blog and projects page should be a good place to start. Want to talk to me about something? Please do not hesitate to get in contact!
