Projects
I've worked on many more projects over the years, but most can be found under these groups I worked for
Sleeping Penguinz
Soon after finishing my Masters degree, I started to take game development more seriously. This is when I started Sleeping PenguinZ, which soon after turned into Dypsloom. Before that, I completed a few fun projects, including the mobile game Mecha Archana or the webcam game Penguin Move. Try them out and much more by heading to this website:

Dypsloom
Dypsloom is a group I founded to publish work I make with other developers. All projects in Dypsloom are things I have either directed to participated in. Most notably the Asset store packages we've published like Rhythm Timeline
And our game PotionBlast : Batlle of Wizards that I developped with a team of juniors/interns that wanted to learn about game development and have some real world experience.

Real Scope Studio is a Digitla Agency Studio I co-founded to branch out of video games only audiences while still taking advantage of my skill set in 3D app development, web development and electronics. It's focus is mostly B2B for mid scale projects that require a ample amount of skills which we cover within our team.
We offer services in Photo, Video, 3D asset/animation and sofware development.
