Creations


Video game development

I created a few games with my friends during game jams and using Unity, mainly as a programmer and game designer. Check them out on our itch.io page!

Culturons Nous' mobile app proof of concept

I was leader of the team in charge of the Culturons Nous project's mobile app proof of concept. My team of 5 and I developed the app using Flutter's cross-platform technlology and Firebase for our database.

Coding Battle 2019 & 2020 - Shaker's algorithmic contest (French)

I helped writing problem statements, solution and input/output generating files for exporting problems onto the contest platform. I also took part in the platform administration during the contest, which had around 1,000 participants in 2019 & 2020.

Ilolio Music Lab

For this school project, I was in charge of creating and uploading data to the Firebase database used by the artificial intelligence in our project (music samples and their corresponding metadata).

This very website !

I built this website myself using a free Bootstrap template and a simple internationalization tool. I first hosted it on a Microsoft Azure static web app, and now on an S3 bucket on AWS. I got my own domain using Google Domains, and managed the DNS zone with Route53 (AWS). The result is right in front of you!


Hobbies

In my free time, I like to work on personal projects (such as the ones above), play video games, listen to music, or enjoy a cup of tea. I also like to try new creative hobbies such as modeling or drawing but I'm still far from being any good at them.
I have been practicing aikido for several years before covid-19, and I would love to travel more and discover new cultures and food all around the world once the pandemic is over.
