Zouhair has always been fascinated by the inner workings of video games. He's a software engineer by trade, and a self-thaught game developer and artist.
A short career as an assistant professor in university made Zouhair fall in love with teaching and sharing his knowledge. He worked as a freelancer in 2D art and animation, 3D modeling of hard-surface models, and as a game design consultant and game developer for several studios from Japan to the United States of America since 2015.
In 2024, Zouhair launched a Youtube channel called Zeus GameDev Academy. He made a free, 30 video course about making NPCs and Game AI for a third-person shooter, while also showing how you can craft your own behavior tree system from scratch. This particular course was successful and earned the channel hundreds of subscribers. He then branched out, making tutorials about camera systems, making models in Blender, creating a first-person controller and weapon system, making a Rimworld-like strategy game using Behavior Designer Pro, and more videos. The channel was and still is a great opportunity to share his knowledge with game developers of all skill levels and from all walks of life.
