Years coding
Taught myself at 9, still going.
Hi, I’m Nick
Creative developer, Hack Clubber, and playful systems nerd.
I taught myself to code when I was nine by breaking WordPress themes and rebuilding them from scratch. Today I balance school at Mediacollege Amsterdam with Hack Club adventures, Unity experiments, and contract work for small studios.
My favourite projects mix storytelling with tech - VR parties, interactive trees, or custom hardware that ships with a narrative. Community keeps me accountable, so I document everything publicly.
Always collecting field notes + stickers.

Timeline
How I got here
2017
Taught myself to code
Started building browser games at age nine using whatever tutorials I could find.
HTML experiments quickly turned into tiny PHP sites and Minecraft plugins. I’ve shipped something every year since.
2022 – Present
Mediacollege Amsterdam
Studying full-stack development with a focus on product thinking.
Coursework spans .NET, PHP, and tooling around UX. I mix assignments with self-directed projects like EcoNest and Weird Chess.
Dec 2023
Joined Hack Club
Found the community that keeps me shipping.
From HighSeas to late-night Figma critiques, Hack Club is where I met collaborators, mentors, and best friends.
Apr 2024
Hack Club Juice (Shanghai)
Shipped PartyVR in a 12-day residency.
Built a multiplayer VR party game, demoed it to locals, and documented the entire process.
2024 – 2025
Game jams + experiments
Jumped into GMTK, Brackeys, Boss Rush, and countless weekend sprints.
Switching between art, code, and sound keeps me flexible - and fills my notebook with new mechanics.
