About me
Grown up between crop fields and temperate forests in the French countryside, children of the public-funded kinder garden's manager and an engineer-minded office worker. We enjoyed large landscape, wildlife, the family's farm. Travels, sciences and community values running deep in our familial DNA, Wikipedia and multiculturalism were natural jumps. I've been academically curious with a bachelor in History ; one in Natural Language Processing ; a master of Chinese language and e-learning and an MBA in Technology and Innovation (Taiwan). I now work as a e-learning professional, web app developer, MOOC creators (22 OpenEdx), and small project manager. When student, I lived 5 years in Taiwan, 6 months in India, which I consider my 2nd and 3rd homes due to friend-family there.
My work
As Wikimedian since 2004, I most notably worked as project coordinators in the following selected projects. Creator and lead coordinator of the Graphic Labs and Map workshop, which created or revamped 15,000 images and maps. We pushed with few others for Wikipedia Cartographic guidelines. Creator and lead coordinator of the CJK Stroke Order Project and the Ancient Chinese Characters Project (~15,000 files). Co-initiator and coordinator of the rapid audio recording system LinguaLibre.org, supported by WM-fr and WMF. My encyclopedic contributions are various, with a track on Chinese culture, contemporary social conflicts and Human rights. I've been administrator of Wikipedia FR and Commons between 2005 and 2008.
We may have met up at Wikimania 2007,'13,'14,'17,'18,'19,'21, Hackathons 2013,'14,'17,'18,'19, Wikiconvention francophone 2016.

Each map is a stack of separated layers. Each layer is one major step within the workflow of encyclopedic map making.
①: Layers from GIS data: ➊. NASA topographic data ; ➋. Shaded relief (processed from ➊); ➌. NaturalEarth political divisions and watersways; ➍. OSM roads and urban areas ; ➎. Reprojection (if needed); ➏. Layers' pilling & styling in vector editor; ②: Additional layers to design : ➐. Semantics: legends, icons, scale, north arrow, localizator, topographic legend are drag&drop-added, then selected & edited to create the needed toolbox; ➑. Addition of shapes & icons upon the map to represent the selected encyclopedic informations.
