My name is Tatum de Vries, I'm 22 years old. I’m from Schagen and I am now in my third year of studying software development at the Mediacollege in Amsterdam. I’m currently a Unity Game Developer interested in the design and development of games.

I have participated in a few projects with the programming language C#. In those projects I also gained experience with Git, Trello, C# and Unity.
In the future, I would like to learn about different engines and languages, like C++ and Unreal.

I'm a friendly person who likes to socialize, organize and game very much. I also enjoy to joke around a bit to lighten up the vibe, when I feel like people need it. I can be very initiative, because if I want something then I go for it. 

The projects that I am most proud of are the 3 game jams that I worked on in the summer of 2023 (BlackSmithSimulator, The Lost Reel and Inner thoughts).
I am proud of the projects, because I learned a lot in a short amount of time. In one of the 3 game jams, there is one specific project that was more difficult for me. That project was “Inner Thoughts”, because I worked on a UI state machine. What made it difficult is that I did not know how to work with state machines before and now I have a clearer view of what they are and how to use them. It was the first time that I had worked with a state machine and I would like to work with state machines again.

For now, I want to learn more about development and game design as much as I can, so that in the future I could work independently on a project or as a great asset of a company.
