About

My name is Maximilien Dagois. I have programmed games for more than 15 years. I worked on titles like Final Fantasy XIV, Dragon Quest Builders and Pokémon Ranger. I have shipped more than a dozen games on PC, Mobile, NDS, PS3, PS4, Vita, and Stadia. A list of these games is available in my portfolio.

I was born in France, near Paris. I lived close to eight years in Canada, first in Quebec City, then in Montreal. I now live in Tokyo, Japan, with my wife and two kids.

I currently work as a software engineer at Google, mostly dealing with graphics in Vulkan. In my spare time, I write books on programming retro hardware. I focus on exhaustive practical programming guides. My long term goal is to write a long series of such books.
