What I do

As a full-stack web developer, I create digital content such as sites, interactive 3D models, and games. When working on a project, I like to be involved throughout the entire process, from the design to the technical implementation. I have the experience required to do so alone or in a team.

In my free time I tinker around with game servers and develop web-based games of my own — check out Bloob.io. I am always eager to learn new technologies and advance my knowledge to the next level.

About me

I'm Tristan, a Dutch-British X-year-old living in the Netherlands. My early hobby managing gaming servers and communities sparked my passion for creating games, sites, and other types of digital content. I then went on to earn a BSc in Creative Media and Game Technologies at Breda University. I have been working at Spectral as a front-end developer since 2019.
