PROJECTS
I am a very creative person and a hard worker. During my free time, I always love to challenge myself and create video games in different languages to diversify my abilities.
JGame Framework
The JGame Framework is an ensemble of very useful classes that makes the creation of new 2D games a lot easier. Collisions, the game loop and player input are already implemented. The only thing left to add are the game objects and their behavior. These are made easy to implement and many examples are there to help understand the framework.

A Robot's Tale
Made in python, this puzzle game puts the player in the skin of a broken robot, trying to find its identity. This games explores AI, path finding and collisions. I also implemented a level creator.
A Fire Survival Guide
Living as a flame in a dungeon isn't easy. One must avoid ponds, falling and burning out! This game was also made with python and it randomly generates dungeons in which the player must find fuel and survive towards increasingly difficult levels.
Onitama online
My first online game, inspired by the board game Onitama. Though the game is simple, I created it with a server and client capable to run multiple instances of the game at the same time.
Intergalactic Geometry War
My first project: a simple game involving circles and squares fighting in space. The player must avoid enemies and have the highest possible score.
Ongoing projects
Un Petit Boulot
Made entirely with the JGame Framework, this is a management game that will utilize fully all the possibilities of this framework. The player will be able to fully customize UI and play with the different subwindows of this game. The goal is to be richer and richer by sending adventurers on quests.
Shape Wizards​
My first C++ game. With the help of Alexandre Fawcett, we plan to make a smooth game that will use only shapes as assets. With a very modular approach, this will be a real-time strategy game in which the player must choose the best units to overcome its enemies. We plan to integrate learning from the AI to always keep the player on its toes.
Working Experience

Cook
During the summers of 2015 and 2016 I worked at the Chelsea pub restaurant as a cook. The job was really challenging: the clients were numerous, the food was good, we had to make new and innovative meals each day, and we took pride in providing a nice experience for the clients.
