I'm one of those kids who grew up with a pull-string cowboy doll in one hand, a space ranger in the other, and was scared/amazed by the TRex of Jurassic Park. Seeing as reconstructing dinosaur DNA from some fossilized bloodsuckers looked harder than I expected, I studied 3D Computer Science of molecular biology, hoping that one day, the animation & VFX industry would welcome me in spite of my poor artistic skills.

After 3 years as an R&D engineer at the INRIA (French National Research Institute in Computer Science), working on state-of-the-art human AI and procedural animation, we co-founded a company called Golaem with some other folks from the lab. Golaem was acquired in August 2025 by Autdesk where I act as a Product Manager
