Maxime AILLOUD was always involved in game development along with his study from the time he was a child. He wasn't aware of web development at first, but it wasn't so far along the road as some of his colleagues created an association in Lyon to promote game development. Organizing a game jam, 48h of game creation, was one of their goals. It was enough for him to get into game development. For now, it's just a hobby, but maybe one day, it'll be a part of his job.

Roberto Ulloa has a diverse academic record in multiple disciplines within the field of computer science. He obtained an MSc from the University of Costa Rica and has also taught programming and computer networking there. He then spent two years doing PhD-level research on cultural complexity at the CulturePlex Lab of the University of Western Ontario.
He loves travelling and enjoys an itinerant life, living among different cultures and environments. He loves nature and has spent many months volunteering in Central and South America. Currently, he can be found somewhere in South East Asia, wandering in a new place or settling down for a few weeks in a comfortable town to get some work done. Indeed, at one of his stops, he wrote the book Kivy: Interactive Applications in Python, Packt Publishing, which was published in 2013, for which he is very grateful.
He earns his living as a web developer in Python/Django and PHP/Wordpress. Also, he tries to have as much free time as possible to collaborate with different research colleagues; work on his own projects, which includes his blog (http://robertour.com) ; or acquire new knowledge through reading books or online courses. He constantly worries that the Internet has already become aware of itself, and we are not able to communicate with it because of the improbability of it being able to provide information in Spanish or any of the 6,000 odd human languages that exist on the planet.
