Raphael Gruaz’s Summary

[Objectives]
I am a developper highly motivated by challenging projects. Particularly interested in Image, 3D or virtual reality, I am also keen on advanced programming. I'm looking for a company that would satisfy my curiosity about new technologies, and allow me to improve my management skills.

[Languages]
I speak french (native), english (toeic: 840), and a little japanese (JLPT level 3, still studying). I also studied German and Italian for a while.

[More about me...]
Since the age of 16, I have been fond of programming. I am currently the leader of a small team of developers. We started with a C++ multimedia SDK, and now we published our first game for XBox360.
I am also fond of sports: squash, trampoline (I was a teacher for 4 years) and badminton.
