Hi there, I'm Charles,
a software developer from France. I'm making tools for Visual Effects and Video Games artists, building custom technologies for NGO and coding for Live Entertainment and Projection Mapping.
After years at The Mill and Disguise in London I joined Télécoms Sans Frontières, Première Urgence Internationale and Médecins du Monde to work with medical teams to automate workflows of front line workers in remote Myanmar, Nepal and Syria.
With Previz, we made a real-time 3D content planning and previsualization environment for live entertainment, installations and architectural project. During summer 2018 I've helped my friends from nexLabs in Yangon, Myanmar on a web project as a mentor and frontend developer.
A few years ago I cycled from France to Australia with Siugi. This has been a crazy trip, but by no mean did it cured my travel bug. Since then I keep on traveling the world for work and fun.
In early 2019 I joined the R&D team of the visual effects studio Rodeo FX in Montréal, Canada to write Python and C++ pipeline code with USD and Qt for their artists. I'm now discovering the video games world at Ubisoft.
Let's be in touch by Email or Mastodon.
