Samuel
Boulain Holstaine

I build games, web things, and whatever else seems interesting. Systems programmer by training, creative tinkerer by nature.

Who I am

I started playing video games at 6 and never stopped — that love for games is what led me to pursue computer science. I enjoy working close to the metal (C, C++, systems programming) just as much as building polished interfaces.

Growing up across India, France, the Netherlands, and now Germany shaped how I work: I adapt quickly, communicate across cultures, and bring a genuinely global perspective to teams and projects.

Outside of code: I cook obsessively (from Chinese dumplings to cider brewing), DM tabletop RPG campaigns, and spend too much time thinking about procedural generation algorithms.
