So, welcome to my portfolio! My name is Alexander van der Kolk.
I live in Roosendaal, the Netherlands. I graduated as of summer 2008 as Bachelor of Computer Science at the Academy for IT and Media in the field of Media Technology in Breda, the Netherlands.

Interests
-
PC & Console Games
I'm not tied to a genre or platform. I enjoy games aslong as they are original, have a good story, fascinate me in the way it works or are just good for wasting time. Some examples of games or game-series I really dig: World of Warcraft, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, Uncharted, Prince of Persia, Grand Theft Auto and Warcraft.
-
Programming
Somehow I've developed a love for programming. I love diving into existing code and find my way around, scramble about on some of my own projects, read blogs and magazines about it and have a great time at work doing it for a living.
-
Card & Boardgames
I've activly played Magic: The Gathering a few years back and I still enjoy a regular game from time to time. With some friends we even setup a non-profit organisation called TrefpuntMagic, we organize Magic: The Gathering tournaments and regular Board Game events for a wide audiance.
