- EDUCATION -
In school for Computer Programming in France, the web design and web programming classes made me lean towards more artisty type of computer work. After graduating from CS, I went to get a degree in 2D/3D Animation in Arizona, specializing myself in Character Animation.

- WORK -
I went back to work in Paris, France for a year in 2004, did game and commercial freelance work.

In 2005, I started as a Character Animator at Electronic Arts in Chicago. From there, started to write scripts, then tools, and become a Character Technical Artist where I mainly did tools writing and Character Rigging.

In December 2007, I moved to San Francisco to work at Activision as a Character Technical Director.

Youth Development: June 2008 was a big step for me, I started volunteering as a Soccer Coach for a 7-9yo boys team in the Mission District of San Francisco, at Jamestown Community Center, which mainly works with low-income families. Great, enriching, motivating experience.

In October 2008, I accepted a position as a Character Setup TD at ImageMovers Digital, a Walt Disney Company Studio.

In November 2010, I took a Technical Animation TD position at Rhythm and Hues Studios for 3 months to do Cloth and Hair simulation work.

I joined ShadeMaker Productions in May 2011 in San Francisco, as the sole Pipeline TD / Character TD in the production of an upcoming Stop-Motion feature. I develop the modeling, rigging and animation pipeline, write artist workflow tools, and the main face rig build system.

I also do a lot of Freelance Rigging and Tools work.
