About Me
Hello! I'm Benjamin Ek.
​
I have always loved playing computer games. And ever since I can remember, Tech & Maths has been my go-to field of interest. At 16 I decided to take the natural step forward, game programming. I quickly fell in love.
​
I am a very light-hearted and relaxed person and when I have work to do, I am very meticulous and serious about it. My colleagues describe me as very helpful, patient and easy to talk to.
​
In my spare time you are very likely to find me either passionately playing racing games, watching motorsports or beating my friends at their favourite card game.
​
For the past two years I have been studying Game Programming at The Game Assembly Malmö, rapidly accelerating my programming and teamworking skills. Tools is the field of programming where I really thrive. I get to use my skills in game development together with my passion for supporting other people's work & ideas.
I am currently doing my internship as Editor Tech programmer (basically tools) at Massive Entertainment in Malmö! (August 2023 - April 2024).
