About
Hi! My name is Alexander Grunert, but I'm often simply referred to as Gruni. Grunerd was a wordplay that began in school, with an emphasis on the nerd-part that simply stuck with me throughout the years.
I am 36 years old and at the moment, I am in the process of forming my own software and game studio.
Prior to that, I spent 3.5 years working at Splitscreen Studios as the primary Software Developer on Dino Storm, Pirate Galaxy and Steel Legions. From 2016 to 2018, I studied Game Design & Development at the Macromedia Academy of Applied Sciences in Stuttgart, Germany.
You can find a list of projects I have worked on over here. That part of the page however is still work in progress
I am still restructuring this website, so for the time being, a better readable version of my resumé can be found over at read.cv
