Hi, I'm Jan.
I do game engines, graphics programming and the occasional procedural flowers.
I'm 21, from Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Game engine dev at Guardiaris, studying at FRI, otherwise you can find me reinventing the wheel in C.
I also run Blogsoni.
about
My main hobbies are programming and reading tech blogs, especially if theyre about handmade stuff or people building their mountain.
I'm into free, independent and simple software. Also member of fuck off ai music.
I'm looking for an excuse to try out Go or Zig so if you've got project ideas please send me some!
Right now I'm working on flos, a game about collecting procedural flowers written in C.
experience
I've been doing game engine architecture and rendering since 2021, professionally since 2023. C, C++ and C#.
Multiple engines, games from scratch and high performance simulations.
work
game engine developer @ Guardiaris
october 2023 - present
I worked on the rendering pipeline and engine architecture, plus ai behaviour, gameplay logic and the ui architecture. I've also implemented a GStreamer-like video pipeline system, multiple communication protocols and internal tooling. Most of this has been worked on while communicating directly with clients.
