About me

Hello world! I am Max. I am a 19 year old who loves coding and playing videogames, and I study Computer science and Mathematics at Utrecht University. My love for coding started since I was still in primary school when my mom gave me a book about how to make games in Scratch. Since then, I started making my own games in Scratch, and it has really helped me a lot with turning my ideas into instructions for a computer to be able to follow. Since then, I also started working with other languages and game engines, like Roblox studio, Javascript, PHP, and a bit of C++. You can find many of the projects that I've worked on on this website.

One project I worked on in particular was Cansat. The goal behind Cansat is to build a working satellite the size of a can, which will be launched into the sky with a rocket. My friends and I decided that it would be fun to participate in this competition, so we signed up at our school. The satellite contains an Arduino, which I got to work on. The most important thing the Arduino needed to do was read the data measured by our sensors (like temperature, orientation etc.), and send this data using an antenna to our ground station, where we would receive the data. From this project, I learned a lot about how an Arduino workes and about how to receive and send data efficiently. I really enjoyed actually being able to use my programming skills for something cool like this, and I had a really fun time building a satellite with my friends.
