Pieter Vantorre
Senior Programmer
I’m a good team player, I get along with everyone and like to create a good atmosphere. I bring new and refreshing ideas, gratefully accept and give feedback, and I can respect deadlines. Scouting has always been part of my life. I was chief scout for 3 years, responsible for finances and management. Besides that, I love being outdoors, hiking, traveling and learning things in general. I did my internship at Triumph Studios, worked 6.5 years at Fishing Cactus and am currently employed a Triangle Factory.
