I study at Breda University, a university in the Netherlands. I like cool tech and want to become an Engine Programmer. Take a look at my Github.
Looking for an Internship starting September 2020

These are the main programming languages I use daily for projects. I use/have used a bunch more, but those are usually scripting languages I am not invested in. For example, Lua and Python.
My first choice for writing performant Games & Engines. I know the strenghts and weaknesses, and like to understand what is happening within the language going forward. For example by going to Conferences.
A great language which I think has a huge potential to become the new go-to systems programming language because of it's thread-safety guarantees and it's crate ecosystem.
My go-to language for when productivity is more important than runtime performance. Which is why I like to use it for most tools and gameplay code.
I have a lot of experience both working with professional game engines and creating custom ones.
The insight I got from the big engines I used to improve the workflow and pipelines of my own engines.
I have experience with cross-platform development. Both on Desktop platforms(PC, Linux) and on Consoles (PlayStation 4), as well as VR. On several projects.
Hello! I am Maiko Steeman, a Game Programmer studying at Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands. I am a motivated programmer with excellent knowledge of C++ and who loves innovating and learning new things. Such as raytracing or non-Euclidean portals. Both in school and in my free time.
I am a driven person who likes to solve hard problems. I have experience with writing performant code in C++, Rust and did Graphics in DX12 and OpenGL. Most of all I love writing innovative or novel technologies that can be used and reused by others. That is why I love Engine development and why I am working towards becoming an Engine Programmer.
To get to know the C++ language I like to go to and volunteer for conferences to talk and listen to the people there. I have been to C++ On Sea 2019, Meeting C++19 and White Nights ’20.
This eagerness to learn also extends to wanting to teach others. I have been active for 2 years at our school teaching other students my findings about the intricacies about C++, and have done over 15 C# workshops targeted towards designers and artists.
I am a strong team player and work well in big teams. I have experience in multiple cross-disciplinary teams with over 20 people.
