Pieter Vantorre

Senior Programmer

I’m a good team player, I get along with everyone and like to create a good atmosphere. I bring new and refreshing ideas, gratefully accept and give feedback, and I can respect deadlines. Scouting has always been part of my life. I am chief scout, responsible for finances and management. Besides that, I love being outdoors, hiking, traveling and learning things in general. I did my internship at Triumph Studios and I am currently employed at Fishing Cactus.

I had the pleasure to work with Pieter together on a 2D Game engine in C++11, targetting Android and Windows 7+. Pieter is a motivated programmer, who loves to learn and is always open for some good criticism. Hiring him is like buying a house to rent it out: a great investment!
