My name is Max Fijma, and I'm a fourth-year Game Development student at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. While the main focus of what I'm studying is game development, I’ve also worked on all kinds of projects, such as web development using REACT and TypeScript or using HTML and JavaScript. I've also done some work with Artificial Intelligence, using Python. For game development related projects I have worked with a lot of C#, Some High Level Shader Language (HLSL), a bit of Java and I have a lot of experience using the Unity Game Engine.

Written out below are some of the important projects to showcase what I’ve worked on over the past few years.

Outside of coding I have some hobbies that I enjoy, I love playing tradding card games, and there are a few different card games that I have played, such as One Piece TCG, Flesh and Blood TCG and Magic: the Gathering. Nowadays I especially like playing Magic: the Gathering, every few weeks I get together with friends for Commander nights.

Of course, being a game developer means that I really like playing video games as well. Currently the Monster Hunter franchise holds some of my favorite games such as Monster Hunter World, Rise and Wilds. I just love playing these games and grinding for items for new armor sets and weapons. I also like minecraft a lot, especially the game mode hypixel called Hypixel Skyblock. This is yet another grindy game where I can really sink my teeth into to work hard and get something done. Finally, I also really love Balatro and I would consider it one of my favorite games of all time. I even tried to make a hat based on the character Jimbo in the game so that I could cosplay as him to Comic con.
