About me

I am a French researcher doing a PhD about sketch-based 3D animation in LTCI, Telecom Paris and LIX, Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau near Paris. I come from the South-West of France, and I studied in CY Tech, a French engineering school located in Pau and Cergy to get my master in Computer Science engineering, with a specialisation in Visual Computing. I am interested in a lot of topics, such as sciences (mathematics, physics), litterature (philosophy, languages), art (performing, writing, drawing), social and of course technology, with a strong interest in 3D, video games and AR/VR. I love to discover new things (culture, people, sports, food...) and I find so much fun in anything related to games!

So reach out if you want to discuss any topic you want! :)

Hobbies

Dancing

I am a member of the dance company Canopée. I also taught modern jazz dance in my school association (BDS). I take so much pleasure in dancing all styles and creating my own choreographies. You can find our last show on Youtube.

Stories

I have always loved to imagine fantastic and science-fiction stories. You can find some of them (but old) on Wattpad.

Games

And if you're becoming annoyed, don't go away but stay to play my games (link incoming - for those who come after).
