Pascal van der Heiden (also known as CodeImp) born on July 15, 1982, is a regular in the Doom community, a developer of notable Doom supporting applications and resource maintainer of Doomworld. For his living, he works at Triumph Studios as technical programmer. Heiden is the creator of the software and services featured at CodeImp, which is his trademark for his personal projects and nickname in the Doom community.

 * Doom Connector was a service for online Doom multiplayer with various Doom source ports. Heiden designed and developed this service. This product and support was discontinued on May 30, 2005.

Later he introduced 3D Mode editing in the Doom editing scene, as popularised by the Duke Nukem Build editor. In January 2008 he announced that the development of Doom Builder 2 (a more high-end rewrite of this tool) had begun.
 * Doom Builder 2 was officially released as of May 14, 2009.
