01 / About my portfolio

Hi there! My name is Ruben van der Velde and welcome to my website. Having grown up in rural French Belgium, I have committed myself to travel around the world and live the most incredible adventures. This gave me a lot of respect and knowledge that will be useful for the rest of my life. After having worked for Apple in Groningen (NL) I started to realize my passion for computer science and the business sector that evolves around it. Taking my passion for videogames in account, I decided to follow a bachelor study at Hanze University of Applied Science to learn more of what has become my largest interest: Business IT management. In this portfolio you will find a glimpse of what I have been working on the last few years.

What are
my favorite games?

02 / Gaming

The gaming industry is growing constantly, new trends and technologies are emerging nearly daily. Videogames are the most intriguing pieces of art in our day and age in my opinion. The craftsmanship, art, management, technology, time and passion put into these projects are something extraordinary that no other form of media or entertainment could match. While studying Business IT Management I am dreaming of one day becoming a part of this constantly evolving industry.

Games that inspired me recently:

Horizon Zero Dawn
I will always remember when I bought a PS4 Pro just for this game. I think I have never been as exited about a gorgeous digital world as this one (I mean just look at the Thunderjaw...)


God Of War (2018):
This game made me fall in love with norse mythology and I was blown away by te cinematography techniques used in here, this is the absolute pinnacle of gaming (Cory Barlog is the best).

Outerwilds (2019):
The studio behind this piece of art has been able to push creativity, humour and emotions in such an interesting way that I believe some AAA could learn from them.
