Martijn van Iersel

Martijn works as software engineer at TOPdesk, where he is also responsible for the internal training program for fresh developers. Martijn takes an interest in computing, games, and education, and is always looking for ways to combine the three: using games for educating programmers. Martijn started his career in research, and obtained a PhD in Bioinformatics at Maastricht University. In more recent years, he switched from theory to practice, and develops software at a company. In his spare time, Martijn hosts game jams, and develops an educational game for biology classrooms.
