Product, Process, People


Through my different experiences in internal developments and outsourced co-developments, I have worked with teams of various sizes and compsotions, but I have always striven to get the best out of them by providing with a strong vision, clear goals, and a productive creative space.

Graduated from Supinfogame Rubika (France) with a Master's degree in Game Design & Management, I love designing video games. Apart from creating game systems and mechanics, because I love working in a team, what drives me is to get people motivated and lead them towards their objectives.

SKILLS


Project Management


Methodical, I bring structure in my approach and I can organize in an understandable manner. I always strive to finish the work by being proactive in solving impediments. Using various methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall), I can be flexible in how I approach things.

Team Management


Good communicator, I take time to connect and share with my teams. Actively listening, I always wish to truly understand, thoroughly evaluate and constantly learn. I coordinate teams by providing them with clear goals and fostering cross-discipline collaboration.

Game Design


Focused on the future, I always envision where we are going and drive my teams towards it. Always looking for innovation, I analyse players behaviours and feedback. It helps me drive my design intentions towards better player-centric game systems that provide a rich and challenging experience.

Programming


With some technical background in Unity and Unreal Engine 4, I am not only able to use those two game engines, but also, I am able to quickly prototype game systems with Unity C# or Unreal Visual Scripting (Blueprints).

TOOLS


Over the course of my career, I've used:  

And I've also made:
Feature Design to Hansoft Converter

A Google Spreadsheet add-on I have developed with Google App Scripts API to facilitate the transition between design and production by converting signed off design documents to Hansoft XML that will automatically create product backlog items once imported in the project management software.
