Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMenno Gouw is an indie game developer and web developer with 11+ years of hands-on experience building websites, custom CMS solutions, and mobile games through his studio Buckrider Studio. Based in Amsterdam, he combines a designer’s eye with practical engineering—shipping three mobile games (most recently Bounce and Break) and working on a larger desktop title while running freelance web projects. Comfortable across HTML/CSS, C#, and Java, he has implemented procedural dungeon generation, hierarchical A* pathfinding, and AI via finite state machines and behavior trees. His background in event-stage 3D design and surveying brings a strong spatial and systems mindset to gameplay and UX problems. Driven by long coding sessions and a passion for turning big ideas into playable experiences, he is seeking a professional team role to transition from hobbyist studio owner to full-time software developer.
