Two unshipped projects, NDA-quiet. Happy to talk shop in person.

A color picker focused on perceptual gamuts and palette design. Built because the existing ones treat OKLCH like a buzzword.

ulavad.eu →Ulavad is a one-person game-programming consulting practice based in Antwerp, Belgium (registered as a Belgian CommV). The work is senior gameplay & systems engineering — the unglamorous infrastructure that keeps live-service multiplayer titles shipping.
Engagements range from full-time IC and tech-lead contracts on shooters to focused consulting on multiplayer networking, multi-agent / multi-process architectures, and the tooling around them. Small web tools and personal experiments — like GamutPicker — round out the practice; the loop from idea to shipped is delightfully short.
Currently open for senior IC and tech-lead engagements, contracts, and good conversations. Working language English; EU work-authorized.
Senior Game Programmer. Games my whole life, professionally since 2019. Past shipped titles include Off The Grid, Warface, and Encore; current studio role is at Skeldar Games. Off-hours I build the small tools I want for my own life and hobbies — and I'm working on a game of my own.
