Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Francis
With over 15 years of experience in the video game industry, primarily as a physics programmer on racing games, I began developing a plugin for Unity in 2020, which is now published on its Asset Store (Ev4sio.Physics).
This more personal project allowed me to develop new skills, particularly in C++/C# interoperability. I also had to consider the differences between development platforms, such as Windows, MacOS, and Linux, to ensure the plugin worked consistently across all systems.
I realized that my current skills enable me to work on various projects, including those outside the video game domain, and give me the confidence to pursue my career as an independent professional.
