Developer Unreal C++ / Unity C#
Who am I ?
I'm a video game developer with expertise in Unreal Engine and Unity, and I graduated top of my class in the Game Programming Masters at ISART Digital Paris. My professional experience has enabled me to work on ambitious and complex projects, such as an open-world game, virtual reality experiences and scientific data visualisation tools. I have acquired solid technical skills using the Unreal Engine and Unity, as well as interpersonal skills such as autonomy, teamwork and effective communication. I am open to new job opportunities in the video game industry to continue to explore my passion and contribute to exciting and innovative projects.

MASTER GAME PROGRAMMING,
ISART DIGITAL PARIS
The "Game Programming" course trains high-level, multi-skilled professionals with technical and scientific skills related to video games, as well as solid cross-disciplinary skills. I'm trained in production pipelines, technologies and the issues facing the digital and video game industries, as well as those facing challenges in areas such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence. Through modules combining science, specialised teaching, human sciences, research and professional experience, I am trained to work in a multidisciplinary environment.
2016 - 2018
UNIVERSITY DEGREE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AT THE REIMS UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
This multi-disciplinary course is structured around two equally important teaching units: IT skills and general skills.
