My largest project to date. A series of 3 games for a physics-based space sandbox MMO.
The game connects to a master server handling matchmaking and load-balancing. For the online services of the game, we have a team of moderators which are able to monitor and handle users and sessions in real-time on droneboi.io.
The project uses custom multiplayer software, of which the master server can spin up instances based on demand.
Droneboi: Conquest is currently available on Google Play, the App Sore, and Steam. The series as a whole is currently closing in on 1 million unique players.

For Zuyd Hogeschool, a University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, I developed a tool which completely redesigned their way of doing homework assignments, for both students and teachers.
Teachers are now able to upload the class' summative assignments to an online platform, which then gives students the ability to walk through and solve an interactive 3D escape room, filled with the intended exercises.
By applying gamification and competitive elements to the otherwise 'boring' homework, the software was able to succesfully reduce the 'domino effect' that used to result in 30% of first-year students to drop out.

Zie Ons (dutch for 'See Us') was a project about crafting a device that would be installed at expos. Specifically, expos held by universities to show off students' research projects.
The research papers, conveniently turned into easy-to-glance A1 posters, would be positioned and showed at the expo. The 'Zie Ons' device would be placed above each one, and contain a small micro-computer and sensors to gather data about the audience forming infront of the poster.
The device was able to measure the attention a particular research project got from visitors, and also determine their emotions from facial expressions.
The system was demo'd live at Zuyd University's quarterly ZieDit event in 2023.

Eet je mee? (dutch for 'Join for dinner?') was a joint submission for Sogeti's ProjectB challenge, which inspires students to come up with an IT-innovation that supports people with any kind of disability.
Disability in this context meaning, any sort of person with a lack of anything. Our team's efforts were targeted at lonely people, as the event came shortly after the COVID-19 lockdowns.
We created an app that connected individuals over having a meal together. It allowed anyone from students to the elderly, to sign up and find common interests with a stranger, to talk about over a simple meal.
Representing our university with our submission, it was presented at the annual ProjectB event in Amsterdam.

Many people have a hometrainer at home, and many of them like watching TV shows while using them.
Fietsmaatje (dutch for 'Cycling buddy') was a physical device that could be attached to any type of hometrainer, and measure the cycling speed.
The aim of this device was to pair with an app that would gradually lower the brightness of the phone/tablet when the user started slowing down.
This constantly motivates the user to keep up the pace to continue watching their content. Using this device and the app turned out to be very effective for constantly burning calories while cycling, and avoiding boredom.
