Source Elements are the industry leader in remote recording and mixing software for the film and television industry, enabling creative teams from around the world to collaborate on audio and video post projects in near real-time.

During my study at Saxion I learned and gained a passion for programming and game development. I found programming to be a fantastic why to learn about the mathematical subjects which are useful tools for game development. Being able to see the visual results of the formulas and using math in a creative way to create realistic looking living digital worlds is a magical skill to have.

Did my graduation assignment at VSTEP Simulation. I created user navigation (locomotion) and other interactions for VR to be used in their safety trainer simulator, Response Simulator (RS). These interactions shipped with the 1.4 release of RS.

Worked on multiple experimental VR games that used full body avatars to let players work together by communicating via body language. This internship showed me how VR can be used to create new interactions for games that require more than just technical knowledge. Having to communicate purely to using body language changes everything about how games can be played. Suddenly you as a player are faced with the challenge of creating a new language with the other player(s) instead of using limited interactions provided by most games.
