FAQ
What are you? A game programmer? A web designer? A 2D artist?
Coming from game design, this is what I can do:
- program games with Unity,
- make websites with PHP/HTML5,
- make some 2d art with Illustrator and Photoshop,
- make video trailers with Premiere Pro / After Effects,
- make some music,
- and design games and their levels.
About your past jobs, what kind of roles did you previously get?
During school, I have had game tester jobs and an unforgettable level design training experience for a racing game on Xbox Live Arcade.
Then I started my career with a 3DVIA Virtools programming job in a company specialized in virtual worlds. I have worked as a sidekick on an airplane interior configurator and an online virtual assistant.
And until now, I have mainly accomplished programming tasks such as web and video game development with Unity.
You will get the detail of all my experiences in my CV.
What kind of project would you like to work on the most?
It could be a software such as an interactive map for guiding people in an area, or automatization tools. In a more general idea, I am looking forward to work on services which are useful for the many.
Regarding video games, I am fond of management games where the player has to run a business. I also have a soft spot for baka gēmu. But any project is ok as long as there is the intent to make something special. It can be mainstream games or games with special hardware such as VR headsets (I have an Oculus DK2) or custom controllers.
I am interested in your programming skills. Can we talk?
I am operational on general tasks for Unity C# and PHP. Even though I have not studied programming at school, I make code which is clean, meaningful and well commented. When I am programming, I follow those basic rules: the code has to work, to be efficient and to be easily maintainable. If needed, I can easily emulate design patterns or stick to an established indent style. I coded alone every C# and PHP project I have been working on so I think I can handle at least the basic tasks in a programming team. At most, I can make a video game alone.
I can also make some C, C++, Java and Objective-C, essentially for minor tasks like fixing compatibility problems for Android and iOS or developing a small feature.
I have basics in SQL syntax and I have worked with PDO and SQLite / MySQL.
The website you are currently viewing demonstrates my ability to make standards compliant websites with HTML5 and CSS, without JavaScript, without framework nor CMS.
And if needed, I can learn a new language on the fly.

I am interested in your graphical skills. Can we talk?
I am more a vector rather than bitmap artist and it's been a long time since the last time I have touched 3DS Max. Also, I think there are a lot of desperate, yet talented and efficient, full time artists who pray each day for a job. So I would prefer not taking their opportunities.
For reference, I have used Illustrator to make the vector graphics on this portfolio.
I am interested in your game design skills. Can we talk?
Seriously? The mainstream video game industry is looking for game design specialists who speaks ARPU, KPI, engagement / retention or designers who play a lot of games, with a thorough knowledge of existing games. I am not this kind of game designer. I do not care about marketing terminology or classy game design keywords.
You can expect from me to argue with simple words. In my opinion, the more the game design is complicated to explain with usual words, the more it will be difficult to make it enjoyable.

How do you see your career in the future?
I hope I will be a knowledgeable software developer who shares accurate insights with my colleagues and friends. Making software has no meaning if there is no fun, passion and involvement in the everyday work.
Hey that's a cool website. Can I borrow the design?
Sure! I have put a lot of time and effort to make this website compliant with the latest browsers at my disposal: Firefox 41 & Android, Internet Explorer 11, Chrome 46 and Opera 32. It does not bothers me at all if you want to do your own website with the materials you will find in the source code. You know, I am more an open source guy rather than a secretive one.
For your information, here are some techniques I used for this page:
- SVG images made with Illustrator: SVG images gives the best rendering method for vector graphics at the cost of a little additional file size
- Base64 encoded illustrative objects: images are embedded directly in the HTML code
- LESS-generated CSS file: CSS writing is so much easier with this kind of tool!
- CSS media queries for design responsiveness
- VCARD qrcode encoded on Linux: why use online tools that can borrow your info whereas you can do it with your Linux?
- And the most important thing: NO JAVASCRIPT AT ALL! HAHA! Even image zooming was made with clever use of HTML5 input controls and CSS. So this website works even with NoScript / JS blockers. I am kind of proud of this feat.
Wait! I have a few more questions to ask!
If so, please contact me! 😉
