Have you ever wondered what the career of a game developer looks like?
We certainly did! Meet Léa, who works as a game, tools and systems developer and who recently applied to a pretty well-known game studio!
Besides working on games, she's also an avid gamer herself, with a love for Sci-Fi / space-related games such as Astroneer and Deep Rock Galactic. But that's just a fraction of her many interests!
Anna came to Belgium for her PhD in civil engineering and applied mathematics, not long after she discovered her love for data science. And as it happens, one day she found her current job through our member network.
