This led me in the role of R&D Director in LABS, at Eidos-Montreal, leading a team of 10 multidisciplinary coworkers, in order to accomplish technology that was shared in the group. I had the chance to also build a team of AI/Machine Learning specialists, in a division working in partnerships with major AI companies, with the single goal to change the world of gaming! I unfortunately left the results to my successor but I enjoyed every bits while there.
