![]() | Who am IMy name is Thomas Sentier, I am currently working for Wild River Games GmbH as Team Lead for Software Development.I have studied game design at the Mediadesign Hochschule in Munich, Germany and have completed my Bachelor of Science there. I specialized myself in coding/programming and am looking forward to improve my knowledge and skills in the field of Virtual Reality. |
Background
After getting my Abitur at a German gymnasium I decided that I would like to work for what is my biggest passion: games.
At first I started to study games engineering at the TU-München but after 3 semester I noticed that it was not quite what I wanted to learn.
Sadly the TU barely provided contact to the industry and was very focused on theory.
Therefore I started looking for more practice-focused studies and found the Mediadesign Hochschule (MDH) München, where I received my Game Design B.Sc.
The MDH teaches every part of game development and allows the Students to focus on art or programming. I chose to focus on programming.
After getting my Bachelors Degree I started working as a freelancer for Mixtvision. During that short period of time a game called In the Garden of Dandelions emerged, which can be downloaded from Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store.

Additional information
I am always happy and ready to learn new things in order to improve my skills.
By thinking critically about anything I do and not taking things for granted I tend to reduce the amount of bad outcomes/results.
When programming I always try to think around the corner, even when implementing functions I have programmed multiple times. In my opinion it is important to always adapt the code to the project and not the other way around.
At last I always look to be result oriented and not outcome dependent. This is very important as this drives me to always do my best.
Hobbies
Since my early years I love to build computers, it first started with changing a GPU.
After a few years it developed and became a passion. I am now able to build a PC from scratch. One of my earlier builds had a custom water-cooling loop and custom sleeved cables. For my latest build I decided to go one step further.
I also like to drive Go-Karts, play bowling, billiard and generally any activity that gives adrenaline rushes like rollercoaster or bungee-jumping.
