Objective
Highly-motivated engineer with international experience seeking challenging position in the fields of computer graphics or video game design where I can use and further stimulate my passion for 3D technologies and user interaction.
I'm interested in collaborating with teams internally and externally to develop solutions to challenging problems and drive products to completion.
Fluent in French and in English, intermediate proficiency in Japanese (conversational)

Experience
| Since May 2009 | R&D Engineer in Computer Graphics, Silicon Studio Corporation (Tōkyō, Japan) |
| Research and development of components for a cross-platform, real time 3D rendering pipeline called DAIKOKU / YEBIS, a middleware developed at Silicon Studio. It involves optimizing existing algorithms as well as developing new modules. An example was an automated semi-procedural animation adjustment system for character locomotion. The goal was to procedurally and dynamically adapt an animation (eg. walking motion) on any uneven terrain (eg. stairs, slopes). A lot of techniques were involved: inverse kinematics, animation blending, collision detection, path prediction... I am also currently working in a team of three on developing an augmented reality environment for intuitively creating 3D models from 2D strokes through a head-mounted display. We are implementing an algorithm to generate the mesh from the user gestures, as well as intuitive texturing features, mesh editing tools, and an innovative animation system based on keyframes located in 3D space. I am also learning about the PS3 architecture, the programming techniques to fully take advantage of it, and the debugging tools widely used for the PlayStation3 (GPAD and Tuner). |
