About Me
Hi! My name is Melvin Rother, and I am a Games Programmer and Build Engineer with a BSc in Creative Media and Games Technologies from Breda University of Applied Sciences, graduating cum laude.
I am passionate about writing clean and expandable code and creating awesome player experiences. In addition to my game programming expertise, I work as a Build Engineer for games, ensuring that we can focus more on making games and less on fixing bugs and broken builds. I also enjoy exploring Graphics Programming on the side. Welcome to my portfolio!Education & Certifications
