ABOUT ME

A LITTLE STORY ABOUT WHAT I DO IN MY LIFE

The source code is still LITERATURE

It can be UNDERSTABLE, NICE and EFFICIENT

FRÉDÉRIC VAUCHELLES

Senior Software Engineer
Team Leader

Born and raised by a physicist teacher and a computer science teacher, I grew up in a family of scientists. I also started to play piano at the age of 7 and since, I have been exploring artistic fields, like music, theater, danse.

The video game industry is the perfect industry to mix science and art: the goal is to create an artistic experience based on advanced science knowledge. During my work, I always enjoy finding the best and most efficient way to provide the best experience.

This duality with science and art helps me to manage both creativity and technology to create enjoyable game experience.
