About Me

Hi! My name is Martijn van Iersel. I do things related to computing, biology, gaming, and education.

I design serious games and puzzles that make complex concepts interactive and fun. For example, I developed Food Chain Farm to help high-school students understand the carbon cycle, and I created i18n-puzzles.com to help programmers to learn more about time zones and foreign characters.

I also host two annual game jams named TINS and KrampusHack

I started my carreer in Bioinformatics, and co-founded WikiPathways and PathVisio. I currently work as Engineer at TOPdesk
