Hello, glad you're here :)

Unity Developer & Full Stack Software Engineer

I'm Maurice, a team oriented software engineer from Switzerland who strives to write clean and performant code, always trying to make it as readable as possible. I love the process of converting creative ideas into logical code and see it come to life on screen. Defeating a stubborn bug after bending my brain is the best feeling when developing software! Once I locked my focus on a goal there is nothing that can bring me off my path to get it.



Projects

A quick overview of my projects. View the details to get more insights.

Unity C# Game

Kuro To Shiro

A very difficult 2D puzzle game we created at the SAE school with a team of five developers. I had the role of the scrum master and was responsible for the save game system. We even had the chance to exhibit it at Zürich Game Show 2019 at the SAE booth!

OpenGL C# Tech

3D Rendering Pipeline

With OpenGL (C# binding) I created a 3D rendering pipeline from the ground up. This is the result of learning how a computer draws 3D objects and how pixel and vertex shaders operate.

Unity C# Tool

Character Editor Tool

For the popular Asset Store pack "Polygon Modular Hero" I developed a Unity tool to create custom character prefabs. It allowes to toggle through each bodypart and even add default components to the prefab.

Unity C# Game

Scary Room Walker

During a private game jam, a fellow game artist and I created this small horror game. It was great to see how friends jumped because of the scary encounters we implemented.

About Me

I started my professional journey at age 15 when I began an apprenticeship as application developer. Three to four days of work plus one to two days of school per week made a great balance between gaining work experience and ingesting theroetical knowledge about software engineering. Since I received my federal certification in 2015, I already worked five years as a full stack software engineer in different companies in Switzerland.

Already during my apprenticeship I knew I want to step into the games industry but had no idea how to get there. This changed when I found out about the SAE Institue, a practical oriented media school. In 2018 I started the diploma course (part time) in games programming, creating different projects with Unity 3D and got my diploma in 2020. Since 2021 I am attending classes for a bachelor of science in games programming at the same school, ending in spring 2023. The bachelor course is a great preparation for a lead role in the industry, which I aim for.

For refilling my batteries, I enjoy watching horror movies and to relief the amusing tension I watch documentaries about history, nature and science. If the weather if generous, you can find me cruising on the road with my motorcycle, leaning into curves with delight. I also regularly do thai boxing. It's not only physically but also mentally demanding.
