Creating
Interactive Aesthetics

About me




Between engineering and research, I'm passionate about Rendering, GPU Programming, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Arts, Video-Games, and anything that relates to visual aesthetics in some way. I've always prefered working on stuff I love and giving it all I have, rather than having tons of pet projects. I think this website tends to prove that !

Appart from that, I do have some music related side projects, and I hope I'll soon publish some really cool songs ! Eventually this website will hold a section for them.

I'm currently working at Apple in AR/VR research, I'm thinking of going back to Academia for a PhD later on, but my main goal is to find my path between Tech and Art.

Feel free to contact me for any question or additional information !
