Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOlivier Wervers is a themed-entertainment software specialist and educator with 11 years of experience designing interactive and live experiences that blend game-quality code with show-control systems. He has led software architecture for industry-first projects at Holovis, built XR experiences, and founded OLLES which powered a kid-facing game studio with over a million unique visitors and nearly 100,000 user-created games. A hands-on backend contributor to OpenRCT2, Olivier brings low-level game logic and tooling experience to complex attraction systems, not just front-end visuals. Now teaching software development at Saxion University, he pairs practical R&D and operational entertainment know-how with a Cum Laude degree in Creative Media and Game Technologies. Colleagues describe him as someone who translates theme-park creativity into robust technical solutions, often prototyping novel mechanics from concept to deployable show content.
