With a strong technical expertise and a taste for design, I've had the opportunity to lead teams of creative people through development of innovative projects.
I'm passionate about learning and training, I started giving training early and have been involved in training certification programs. When you work in this industry, sharing your knowledge is not only a duty, it's the opportunity to learn even more.
I'm a self-taught developer myself. I work with Unity since 2011, and was very lucky to meet with mentors who taught me a great deal about OOP. That's a lot to learn about when your background is not in engineering, though, I figured that if I could do it, anyone can.

Je suis passionné par l’apprentissage et l’enseignement. J’ai donné mes premières formations très tôt et me suis impliqué dans les programmes de certifications de grands éditeurs. Quand on travaille dans cette industrie, partager ses connaissances est plus qu’un devoir, c’est aussi le meilleur moyen d’apprendre d’avantage.
Je suis développeur autodidacte. Je travaille avec Unity depuis 2011 et j’ai eu la chance de rencontrer d’excellents mentors qui m’ont beaucoup appris sur la programmation objet.
C’est beaucoup de choses à apprendre lorsque vous n’avez pas un parcours d’ingénieur. Cependant, si j’y suis parvenu, n’importe qui peut en faire autant.
