I graduated from the University Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier with a Image Processing and Computer Graphics (IGAI) Master's Degree.
After graduation, I worked a couple years at Feral Interactive porting and developing games for Linux. I am now exploring the feasibility of my own independent video game development studio.
