Cloud Consultant by day, Indie Developer by night

Bio

I’m a jack of many trades and a master of some.

By day, I work as a Cloud Consultant at Xebia, helping clients kickstart their cloud journey, and bringing their existing AWS cloud platforms and applications to the next level. In my free time, I go back to where it all started for me: app development.

Since 2015, I’ve been developing apps on and off in different areas (social, education, gaming) and for different platforms. No smash hit just yet, but it’s ought to happen one of these days right?

The app I released most recently is Shimmers: a cosy indie game where you rekindle with Shimmers of old.

Shimmers: building an indie mobile game in 2024

Room: Zaal 8 | Time: 13:00 | Duration: 30

Publishing a mobile game as a sole developer is harder than ever, with high user expectations, fierce competition, and stringent regulations. However, using modern tools and technologies, one man army indie developers with full time jobs can still be a thing in 2024! This talk focusses on my journey of conceptualising, building, and deploying an iOS & Android mobile game. We’ll go over the serverless AWS architecture, integrating AWS CDK and Amplify CLI, creating Midjourney art and serving it with Cloudfront and S3, and zoom in on the development journey with its many hurdles and curveballs.
