Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThomas Desveaux is a Lead Tools Programmer based in Paris with eight years of experience building and maintaining developer tooling for game and real-time graphics studios. He has progressed from backend and web roles into tooling leadership at DON'T NOD, previously extending PopcornFX's C++/Qt editor and owning internal build and automation infrastructure. Thomas combines deep build-system expertise—demonstrated by contributions to the widely used premake project improving Visual Studio integration and test coverage—with hands-on scripting and CI work (Python, Premake, Buildbot, Git). He is pragmatic about developer experience, focusing on reliable automation and reproducible builds that speed up art and engineering workflows. Known for bridging the gap between engine tech and artist tools, he brings both low-level build knowledge and product-minded tool design to teams. His background across VR, Unity/Unreal, backend performance tuning, and open-source contributions gives him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on production pipelines.
