Hi, my name is

Tim

I make simulations and everything else

My passion for low-level C++ and OpenGL programming meets for high-level front-end development. I’ve engineered everything from warehouse simulation software to an AI-driven coaching app. My 4 showcased games here are just a glimpse of my projects. Currently, I’m concocting an AI bartender too.

About Me

An engineer with a flair for untangling complexity, I’ve mastered the art of building elegant, low-level systems. My creations range from simulation software to AI-driven coaching apps. A mathematician at heart, I design solutions that make a difference. Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

C++
Custom game engine :)
Neural networks
Flutter
Javascript
React, Svelte, other frameworks :(

Experience

CICT Innovations
ImproCoaching 4U

Software Engineer - CICT Innovations

Jan 2019 - Aug 2022

Created simulation software for warehouses, first using Java, then using C++ and OpenGL.
Developed 3D visualization software using TypeScript and WebGL.
Designed and implemented a real-time warehouse overview interface, including pallet location tracking. in C++ and C#.

Software Engineer - ImproCoaching 4U

Aug 2022 - present

Created a goal planning app for the Apple Store and Android where you can break down your long-term goals into smaller goals with ai.

Frontend in flutter/dart.
Backend in GoLang.

Got experience working with large language models and setting up a large scale project from start to finish.

Education

Bachelor Mathematics

Delft University of technology

Bachelor Thesis

Akiyama’s Nim is a 3D version of Wythoff’s Nim, a game played with coin stacks, where positions correlate to temperatures, and “cold” refers to a temperature of 0. Formulas exist for cold positions in Wythoff’s game but are lacking for a 3-stack variation in Akiyama’s game. The report explores a simplified algorithm to analyze cold positions in this variant, theorizing that they lie on a linear path.

Java OpenGL Neural Networks

Football Evo

A simulation where players controlled by neural networks learn how to play football using evolutionary algorithms

Football Evo

Java OpenGL

Chemistry Life

A physics/chemistry simulation where you can design your own universe. Some universes exhibit simple lifeforms.

Chemistry Life

Java OpenGL Evolutionary Algorithms

ALife Creatures

ALife Creatures is an artificial life simulation with evolving creatures. It lets you indirectly design your own creatures by tweaking evolutionary parameters.
