Endorsements
“I managed Vincent during a tightly scheduled video game production. He has demonstrated his excellent capacities of synthesis and efficiency on many programming aspects (gameplay, pathfind, middleware integration, engine). He's completely autonomous and really reponsible. I have no doubt on his success on any kind of job related to programming (even with management aspect in the near future). If I'd need an excellent polyvalent programmer for a new project I'd hire him without any doubts!”
