About me

My name is Sander Dings and I'm a Game Development student at Fontys University of Applied Sciences, at which I'll graduate in Februari 2017.

The thing I like most about Game Development is the challenge. I really like to work on, and complete challenging concepts. For instance, the chatsystem I'm currently building is pretty huge and requires a lot of pipeline management to work. RabbitMQ (the message broker) doesn't have built-in features to detect what players are online, so I'll have to build that all manually. The thing that drives me is that after I'm done, after I've crushed a challenge, I'll have something cool that I can show people and be proud of.

Education

I graduated Highschool in 2010, after which I started an MBO study at Summa College called Application Development, where I mostly got taught C# and various web languages. I graduated there in 2013, through the fast lane program, which allows you to graduate a year sooner if you are good enough.

In 2013 I started the study Software Engineer at Fontys University of Applied Sciences, where I, due to previous experience, skipped the first half year of school and started in the second half of the first year. I'll be graduating there as a full-fledged Game Developer in Februari 2017, if all goes well.
