Ceren Gazioglu Majoor (Game Developer)
Mompreneur. A jack-of-all-trades, always in search of cuteness and little things in life that make people smile. After working in the IT departments of two big banks as an application developer, Ceren wanted to pursue her dreams of creating games and went back to studies following Computer Science Masters degree at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, specializing in Multimedia and Game Development. She started making apps in her pregnancy leave, in 2011. While waiting for the baby to arrive, she created her first experimental cuteness “While Waiting” and continued making more experiments which led to the foundation of Lucium. Along the road, she discovered the power of gamification and wrote a literature study to inspire others about it. She likes working with people from around the world with the precious flexibility of working from wherever she wants. She likes self improvement and fantasy books, sci-fi and comedy movies, drawing, painting, walking, aikido, gardening, collecting seashells and stones, preparing healthy food for her family.
