Still Exploring the ‘Verse #

My current role is Audio Programmer II at Cloud Imperium Games, where I’ve been employed for around 2 years and 9 months.

In Q4 2023, I became the audio code owner for Ship Flight and Vehicle Experience. I’ve been supporting features like master modes, quantum travel rework, structural salvage, tractor beams, and other exciting projects that aren’t ready to be shared yet!

Along with the rest of the audio code team, I am still carrying on the development of our in-house audio engine CIGAudio, and its associated design tool Claudius.

Every day, I try to learn as much as possible from this industry and all my amazing colleagues.

Time to Create #

After lots of procrastination, doubts and excuses, I decided to start this blog!

Over the past years, I have been neglecting my creative vein, often falling into the “it’s not good enough” mindset. My inner critic kept blocking me from creating and sharing music pieces, photographs or articles. It’s time to change that.

I still have to define goals, set rules or develop habits. I don’t know if it’ll stick or if I’ll fail tomorrow. But, to quote Carol Kohl (from Carol & the End of the World):

Not sure when she’ll finish it, but I like how one starts.

Riding Shai-Hulud and Learning to Write #

I’m totally absorbed by the Dune universe. I watched Dune: Part Two and it quickly became one of my favourite movies (along with the first part, Dune). At the end of February, I finished reading Dune Messiah, and now I started Children of Dune.

Aside from Arrakis, I am exploring the topic of writing through the works of William Zinsser: I am making my way through Writing to Learn and planning to read On Writing Well and Writing About Your Life next.
