About Thomas

Trained at the Beaux-Arts in Angers and then at the École de Design Nantes Atlantique, I first learned to look – at shapes, colors, proportions, the intention behind a visual. When I became a developer in 2010, I didn't leave that behind. I just changed my tools.

For 15 years, I've been building web interfaces. First in an agency working with Drupal and WordPress, then in SaaS product development at AB Tasty, where I eventually managed a team of 4 developers. In 2021, I went freelance to choose my projects – and especially to get closer to what has always driven me: video games.

In 2025, I developed the mobile controller for Big Helmet Heroes for Amazon Luna GameNight – real-time WebSocket, latency optimization, a virtual joystick playable on any phone. Exactly the kind of technical challenge where my dual role makes perfect sense: understanding what the game designer wants to convey to the player, and translating it into performant code.

Today, I'm working on two fronts: developing gaming interfaces and ambitious custom React and WordPress web projects. What connects the two is the same standard – clean code, attention to visual detail, and the desire to build things that are as seen as they are functional.

When I'm not coding, I draw characters and creatures for card games and role-playing games. Pixels and pencils are the same conversation – just two different languages.
