About

PhD dropout turned Computer Graphics and Game Engine developer. I'm currently finishing a Master's in Game Development from ArtFX Montpellier. I specialize in Vulkan, C++, and systems programming more broadly, while constantly learning new tools, techniques and languages.

Currently, my obsessions are with data-oriented design and Jai. When I began programming 8 years ago I quickly found my stride in SOLID principles and OOP and thought I had reached the plateau. After entering the world of game engines, I quickly discovered how wrong I was. Mike Acton's talk followed by the late discovery of "handmade hero", Jonathan Blow streams and the many articles I could go over, reinvigorated my passion for coding and showed me how much more there is to learn in more simple, lightweight principles. I now strive to code small, "like a 15 year old programmer with 8 years of experience" as I remember someone putting it - to unlearn some of the rules I held dear. Learning Jai has been a good tool in this journey as it doesn't overbear with functionalities in the way C++ does, but this is an approach I can apply anywhere.

If you're here, you're hopefully an employer, so here is my pitch to you: I try to set myself apart by being a low-level programmer with deep understanding of hardware and memory, while also having a background as a game designer and artist. These qualities make me rather versatile and so, although I have specialties, I'm just as comfortable within gameplay and tools as I am writing shaders and engines.
