Thom Koper, Gamedeveloper
My name is Thom Koper. I’m a dutch software development student at my second year of studying HBO-ICT at the Amsterdam university of applied sciences. With a level 4 diploma in game development, I accumulated 1 year of work experience in 2 internships at the ministry of defense and XR-Lab.
I have a passion for expanding my skillset and continuously learning new technologies. Whether picking up a new framework or diving into an unfamiliar domain, I thrive on growth. I also really enjoy being part of a team working towards a shared goal, collaborating, exchanging ideas, and collectively building something great is what motivates me most. For 5 years I have been specialising and have student experience in game development. I am also very interested and have started working on networking and back-end servers.
