Since I have a very extensive resume, this a short synopsis that highlights only the most important bits..

27 Years old, shared Belgian and Dutch nationality. Fluent in Dutch and English, intermediate Swedish, basic French.

I have been designing levels for over 11 years, and this is the 9th year that I am professionally active within the games industry.

I specialize in the Unreal Engine. 11 Years of experience with Unreal Technology. I have worked on five Unreal Engine games.

I have worked for Guerrilla Games, Starbreeze, Teotl Studios, and Khaeon Games as a full time employee.

As an independent freelancer I completed contracts for Webzen, Epic Games, Digital Extremes, Streamline Studios, Prophecy Games, Psyonix Studios.

I have been involved in the development of: The Ball, The Chronicles of Spellborn, Unreal Tournament 2004, Unreal Tournament 2004 ECE, Killzone, Shellshock Nam 67, Warpath, and a yet unannounced EA game. Usually as a level designer or environment artist.

Particularly of note was my work on The Chronicles of Spellborn. I organized and directed the entire environment team which was about 15 people large at its peak. I designed the workflow, educated people in the technology, directed the environment style, and I made sure everyone held on to the technical constraints and quality levels that were set.

Also worth mentioning is that the levels I have made for Epic Games' Unreal Tournament 2004 became some of the most popular levels of the Unreal series ever. I created both the two demo levels, as well as an E3 demo level.

And last but not least, for the game The Ball I was not only the Project Lead and Creative Director, but I also took care of 90% of all environment assets, a big chunk of all level script and all level design, I did all effects in the game, and I took care of all marketing and community related responsibilities. I designed the gameplay, the art style, the technical constraints, workflows, and so on. I managed a team that at its peak was 15 developers large, and we hit all deadlines.

I have given workshops on Unreal Engine 3 to two game development studios who had just acquired the engine: Vstep and Playlogic.

I am a part-time teacher and lecturer at various schools and universities. My usual subjects are Unreal Engine and level design. My courses vary in length from a few hours to several weeks long.

I run one of the most popular and most referenced Unreal Engine 3 tutorial websites, with up to 250.000 visitors a year.

I have written two books. One on the games industry and one on level design. I self-published these and managed the entire process on my own.

I have been deeply involved in the modding communities. I have created dozens of levels and mods through the years, some of which passed the quarter of a million download mark.

I have won over a dozen prizes in the world's biggest game development contest: the Make Something Unreal contest (UT2004/UT3 editions). Eight times a first place, and 15 top-5 positions. A feat very few other people have managed, if anyone.
