Bio
David Goemans
When the opportunity came to hire another programmer for work on a new title, Niels' name stood out among the other candidates as one of our best past interns. Since rejoining the team, he has delivered quality work, helping the us meet every milestone deadline. Niels' commitment to creating a quality product goes beyond just solving the problem at hand, and has made considerable contributions to game play and graphics quality. Aside from his work ethic, he's a really fun guy, with a great sense of humour, which fits right in with our team. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with him again, and would definitely recommend Niels to anyone looking for a good, dependable programmer!
