By now, you probably know where Markus is acting at the Techno Creatives. With all his passion and expertise, our new team member is working with Unity and 3D projects.
From Nora, outside of Örebro, Markus tells us that he likes to start his day drinking coffee and taking a few minutes to learn something new. Get a better picture of him on the five questions below — and välkommen Markus!
1. Tell us about your work.
Before I joined The Techno Creatives, I've worked with real-time graphics on the web since I finished my education 6 years ago. Even before that, I've used Unity for several personal projects, and that is now what I focus on here.
2. Which languages do you program with? Any favorite?
Mainly I've experience with C#, Unity, JavaScript, and WebGL. Favorite part is probably writing shaders (GLSL/HLSL), which enables me to do interesting visuals using a very technical approach.l.
3. When you can't find the bug reason, what do you like to do?
When working with computer graphics, finding bugs can also require you to be a bit creative. I often find myself coloring specific pixels on the screen to get information about data, rather than using logging which isn't easy when your program is running on the GPU.
4. How do you boost your creativity?
I've done a lot of game jams in the past, where you only have a few days to complete a game. One reason is that it ticks all my interests with art, music, and programming. But it mainly frees you from trying to do stuff perfectly, which often is what blocks my creativity.
6. Give us three fun facts about you.
A. I became a father six months ago.
B. My first job was on Subway.
C. I'm really into board games.
