I’m Maxime Schneider, a game programmer specialized in gameplay mechanics and modular systems. I focus on writing clean, efficient, and scalable code, and I’m always ready to take on new challenges especially when it comes to bringing original ideas to life in fresh and engaging games.

Passionate about game development, I constantly seek to learn and improve whether it’s through exploring new programming patterns, refining user experience, or diving into new tools and technologies. I love VR :).

Formation

Since 2023, I’ve been studying Video Game Programming as part of a three-year Bachelor’s degree at Haute École Albert Jacquard (Namur, Belgium), which I’m currently pursuing on time (third year, no delays).

This program has given me strong foundations in game-focused programming, using engines like Unity (C#) and Unreal Engine (Blueprints & C++), as well as in low-level development with SDL2 (C++), which I’ve used to create my own 2D gameplay prototypes.

I’ve already completed several solo and group projects including a shoot’em up with upgrade mechanics in Unreal and a turn-based RPG with multiple playable characters which helped me develop solid skills in clean code structure, teamwork, and modular system design.

More About Me :

I've always been drawn to puzzle-based games like Zelda not just for playing them, but for understanding how they work. That joy of solving things pushed me to start creating my own mechanics, which naturally led me to programming.

Today, I focus on gameplay programming, with a strong interest in modular systems adaptable UIs, input detection, cleanly saved settings… I enjoy building systems that are clear, reliable, and designed to grow with the project.

In my free time, I prototype mechanics, stay up to date with tech trends, or challenge myself with logic puzzles and chess. I'm passionate about everything related to programming and often think about how I could turn a small idea into actual gameplay.

I can work independently, but I really enjoy small teams where ideas are shared and tested quickly. I’m looking to join a studio indie, AA, or AAA where passion, structure, and collaboration all have a place.
