Introduction
After a 20+ year long carrier in animation and visual effects I'm going in a new direction.
In 2021 I had the opportunity to follow a 6 month course in fullstack development in .net C# and typescript (angular).
I now have 2 years of experience in typescript game development for Starcasino in Brussels, I also did a lot of programming for my VFX work.
During and after my course I made several projects to grow my skills in programming and demonstrate my capabilities. The most important ones you can find on my github page: https://github.com/wimForton
