C# Programmer, 2D Artist, UI/UX Designer

Programmed simulations for training simulators for the military, police, airport, paramedic and heavy trucks industries. One I call tell is about Air Canada for Airbus A220 inspection in VR at the New York and San Francisco airports. Scene configuration, then programming of the controls for both hands with interactive laser pointers that react to the environment, menus and interactive components. Integration of 3D with correct scale, supervision of the vehicles 3D model's structure with the 3D artist in order to automate interactivity during the import process, and application of custom shaders. Design of immersive graphical user interfaces (like a wrist menu) as well as static ones. Organization of information within a checklist that required to support a points-of-interest system that supports cascading categories. Programming of a teleportation system with an "on-rail" navigation approach. Synchronization of the narrator's voice using a text-to-speech tool that uses machine learning. Multilingual interface. Gamification. Optimization of the educative value. Difficulty modes as well as a student and an exam mode. QA. My eyes are on fire! Don't give up. Everything's fine. Bugfixing and polishing. Installation on final hardware. Tested one more time, then launched on time. The result? The first "gold-on-launch" product of Simleader. Then, I co-developed an enhanced version 2 for another customer. Finally, after 2 gold-on-launch VR products, I transited to 2D art/UI/UX/QA for all products of the enterprise to fulfill the company needs at this moment. I enhanced their corporate branding. I created the non-civil catalog and instructions booklets both in french and in english for all the company products, as well as of some promotional material intended for LinkedIn.
