2005 – 2008
Education and Qualifications IMAC Engineering School, University of Paris-Est 3 year degree in Software Engineering
Grade equivalent to 2:1 My three year intensive course had a pre-requisite two year degree in an introductory discipline. The course consisted of taught modules with examinations, team-based and individual projects, together with two placements to consolidate the course material. Advanced algorithms and mathematics, database and web applications, graphics programming, Modules: image and audio processing, film-making and special effects, arts Placements:
Gemalto, Digital Security Software Provider, Meudon (Paris) April 2008 – September 2008
Delivered a tool for graphical representation of data logs, with a web-based user interface, gathering data from files or database sources. Responsible for automation of the testing process on a major project - coded a tool for automatic input provisioning and output validation. Gaspard Monge, IT Research Institute (IGM), Champs-sur-Marne (Paris) June 2007 – September 2007
Examined existing code for modelling global illumination in participating media and took initiative to execute related research. Extended and developed the model to include directional light sources: coded specific illumination equations and volume shadows casting. Completed previous work on 3D objects for the application and added heightmap terrain. Studied dynamic daylight computation and means to integrate it into the model. Projects:
“Studio*DE” – A video editing program with morphing plug-in (Qt4.2/C++/GStreamer) Functioned as part of a three-member team to devise a plug-in based application architecture. Researched, then coded, tested and improved upon several image matching algorithms, and implemented them in an image tracking tool. Planned and produced a complex graphics interface for the morphing plug-in. Concluded work with a technical report and presentation. “Stereoscopy” – A tool for generation of depth maps from two camera images (Java) Worked effectively within very challenging time constraints. Carried out extensive research on computer vision, including stereoscopy, epipolar geometry and image data analysis. Coded an automatic camera calibration tool and simple graphics user interface. Developed and implemented an algorithm for creating depth maps by gathering and comparing data from stereo images.
“Sunset Coaster” – A real-time special effects demonstration tool (OpenGL/C++) Programmed a model for real-time rendering of sky domes using shaders. Added sun and lens flare simulation.
2001 – 2005
Versailles National Superior School of Architecture (ENSAV) Diploma in fundamentals of architecture.
Four years of architecture study, resulting in initial qualification that is complemented by 4 years of part-time industrial experience. Architectural design, construction and engineering, drafting and 3D modeling. Modules:
Projects:
