Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAurélien Defossez is a multidisciplinary Game Designer & Developer with 14 years of experience blending game design, research-driven interactive experiences and full-stack software engineering. He designs and ships indie and research games (current founder at Videoludid) and previously developed experimental games for cognitive science at the University of Luxembourg. Technically fluent across C#, Unity, Lua, JavaScript/TypeScript and C++, he has built map transformation engines (Node.js, TurfJS, GeoJSON) and contributed bug fixes and new modules to the widely used turfjs/turf geospatial library. Comfortable across front-end frameworks (Backbone, RequireJS) and databases (MongoDB, SQL), he pairs practical UI/UX sensibilities with robust back-end systems. Educated as an engineer (INSA Lyon) with strong academic marks, he brings both rigorous software engineering and playful design thinking to projects. Lesser seen: he moves fluidly between research prototypes and production-grade tooling, making him effective at turning experimental ideas into reliable, maintained software.
