I began virtual reality because of my curiosity for that part of computer sciences which made me choose this direction during my second year of study in Project Management at ITIN. I had a very instructive approach of the virtual reality world.

During my studies I made a state of the art of aptic interfaces and studied modeling and motion capture with Animazoo Europe. Then I practiced it during an internship in Finland where I realize an anti-tobacco ad for a local TV channel.

I continued my studies at Laval, France where I made the European Master in Numerical Modeling and Virtual Reality at ISTIA. I was involved in several projects that allowed me to learn many aspects of virtual reality.

I carried out my final year internship at the European Joint Research Centre in Italy over an 8 months period. The topic of the training was the "3D Tools for outside controls and checks". For the development of 3D scans analysis software for outside environment, the aim was to develop virtual reality tools making it possible to add new possibilities to the basic software and create significant value added stuff to the developed product. My work initially consisted in carrying out a preliminary study of the existing tools in order to evaluate the possibilities to develop virtual reality tools.

I also took part to Laval Virtual (International Conferences on Virtual Reality) as a student competitor (2004), an organizer (2005) and an exhibitor (2006). Next it will be as a professional to represent my company.

I am currently employed by Dassault Systèmes Inc (Canada) and I am working at Boeing in Seattle to develop a 3D software to configure airplanes using Virtools.
