Hi there! 

My name is Tom Lemmers, a modern C++/graphics programmer with 3 years of professional industry experience. Currently I am looking for job opportunities in the field of modern C++/graphics development.

My interest in graphics originates from when I was young, when I used to play a lot of games, which sparked curiosity about how they are rendered on a flat surface. Eager to learn more about graphics related concepts, I started to delve deeper into the mathematical and programming concepts.

Ever since I have gathered experience in commercial game engines and proprietary alike, aiming to create an environment in which I can express my passion for graphics.

Currently I reside in Gelderland, The Netherlands. I am open to move within the Netherlands and remote opportunities.

For inquiries or questions you may contact me through my linked-in; I am always open to have a chat, grab a coffee or to talk about the new developments in C++/graphics!
