Shepard

Technical Project Manager

Having worked at Gameloft, Eidos Montreal, and Budge Studios, I have accumulated experience and skills in managing technical projects in an agile way. 
I am currently responsible for ensuring the quality of deliverables and the respect of deadlines of a development team made of 25 people (artists, programmers, designers) for a now live mobile game.
 
I am proficient in developing roadmaps, scopes, taking preventive actions to be able to deliver on time, and sustaining a good cross-discipline communication. 
I work in sync with all the company departments to integrate user research, market analysis, and customer feedback into our product requirements, and plan the future updates' content accordingly. 
Ensuring the maintenance and optimization of production tools (Jira, Confluence) is part of my role, to keep their content up to date and adapt their shape to the needs of the production.
Thanks to my experience, I can challenge programmers on their work and be critical of their choices. It also allows me to understand project risks and issues and be able to foresee roadblocks. 
 
One of my roles is to ensure agile rituals are conducted in an efficient and productive way for everyone, as sprint plannings or retrospectives are critical to optimize the product quality while respecting the deadlines and keeping the team happy. 
I work on removing impediments for the team and gather feedback on how to improve our current processes for a better velocity with each new sprint.
 
I also regularly present decks to the higher management and the license owner to validate intentions and concepts for future updates so we can start their production. 
Some of the game content is outsourced, like the voice overs or the text localization, so I have to manage the contracts and send briefs to have everything in time for the release. 
 
I have been interested in cryptocurrencies for more than two years and have been learning about it daily since then. 
I have practical experience interacting with crypto whether that is through yield farming, liquidity borrowing, minting NFTs, staking, etc.
As such, I consider myself an advanced user and can explain many protocols.

Detail oriented and a team player, I can easily adapt to new situations. I like to be proactive and am good at managing multiple tasks. 
I am a native French speaker and speak English fluently. 
I also feel worth mentioning that I received advanced Agile training through corporate classes on top of graduating from an MBA about agile production management in software development.
