Hi, I’m
I build things, break them, and figure out how they work.
const thorben = {
studies: "Computer Science, 2nd bachelor",
university: "VUB",
location: "Brussels, Belgium",
age: 17
};A full Pac-Man game with four levels, one-way lanes, tunnels, four ghost personalities, fruit and a saved high score. Written from scratch in R5RS Scheme (DrRacket) for my VUB course, then ported to JavaScript so it runs in the browser.
A cozy forest-themed study app. It has a Pomodoro-style focus timer, flashcards you can write yourself or generate with AI, study stats with streaks and levels, and a campfire whiteboard for sketching ideas.
New projects will appear here, with a live demo you can try in your browser.
What I do when I’m not in class.
Turning ideas into programs that actually run.
Playing games and making my own.
Teamwork, stamina and reading the game.
I want to do an exchange semester in Korea to learn more about consumer tech: how products are designed, built and shipped to millions of people, and how a fast-moving tech culture works.
Want to work together or just talk tech?
