Puppy Pride
2021 and ongoing

I am the core developer of the new Puppy Pride social network since January 2021, and continue to support and expand it to this day.

The site was built from the ground up using the TALL stack in PHP (Tailwindcss, Alpine, Livewire and Laravel) and gave me a lot of experience working with PHP and every single feature within the Laravel framework and all of the ecosystem.

In the project I have gone through a large array of different kinds of features and business processes ranging from Docker to PayPal and from load testing with NGINX to backup storage with S3.

Warning: Puppy Pride is an adult themed social network for people into petplay based in England. Explicit imagery may be present. Due to the site's content, logging in is required to view the majority of its features.

Saxion University
2020 to 2024

I am a year 3 student at the Saxion University of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands majoring in Software Engineering. The study keeps me plenty busy, but now I am combining the study with a Minor Entrepeneurship to build a SaaS product at my new company Flame Software.

Even though the university has taught me much about the business life and how to professionally work in teams, nearly all my programming knowledge is self taught at home.

About me

Hello, I'm Pascal, but my internet name is Mid. Nice to have you here on my website! I'm a 21 year old programmer and tech enthusiast from The Netherlands. If you want to know a little more about me, here are some details. :)

🖥 Computer tech

I love everything tech, as was probably obvious. But it goes beyond creating software. I also built my own computer, and like to maintain hardware. At home I run a server rack equipped with a few Dell processing servers, doing my own research and hosting webservers, bots, multiplayer games and more using software like TrueNAS, Proxmox and Linux.

I daily-drive Linux as my operating systems out of a passion for FOSS and often tinker around with things like RAID and backups and getting all my favorite games to run.

🦊 Furry fandom

Being a furry is an important hobby and a creative outlet for me.

Mid is my primary character out of the many that I have created over the years. He is a fictional anthropomorphic cat with black fur and blue hair and some unusually large whiskers. I use Mid to represent myself with online. On the right is also depicted Martin the Pine Marten, and on some pictures further down the website you'll find a few more sonas: Rexouium named Koffie and a protogen called Seffy.

I commission people to create artistic depictions of my characters to bring them to life, as seen on the images on this page.

🛩️ Drones

I like to go out there and make drone videos and pictures with my DJI drones, enjoying nature outdoors and capturing its beauty.

🥽 Virtual Reality

One of my biggest gaming passions is the world of VR, a place I've made my second home. More about that can be found in the Virtual Reality section.

Virtual Reality

I love Virtual Reality ❤

I believe the Metaverse is already here, and it's been here for years. The reason people haven't realized is because the thing companies sell us is not what the metaverse is actually about:

VR is a world of the free where anything is possible. Entire cities erected from a few button clicks. Friendships and communities built on creativity and compassion. A place where anyone can be what they truly want to be without limitation. A place where humanity's light shines brighter than anywhere else.

And big tech takes those who already built the metaverse for fools, and sells us a future that is the same dull office space we're already dragging ourselves through in the real world.

So I joined these passionate and creative minds and started making my own worlds and communities, building a digital home for myself. The pictures here are some of the moments and places the world of VR has allowed me to create and witness.

💪 Experience and skills

Because of my adventures in virtual reality I have gained knowledge surrounding things such as: Game development (Unity), texturing (Substance Painter) and animating (Unity Animators). Most of the avatars shown in the pictures are hand-made by me.

On top of that, I know my way around the world of VR. Through my years of running events where people come together and celebrate VR I know the people and where to find them, and how to use VR to create success and push new frontiers.

🌍 Worldwide

The world of VR is much larger than it seems. Some of the world's largest companies in entertainment already realize its potential. Each year millions from all over the world come together in events and conventions such as Furality to celebrate.
