Game developer and full-stack web developer based in Seoul, South Korea.
Game Developer & Full-Stack Web Developer
Hello! I'm Calvin Dogus, a French developer based in Seoul, South Korea. Born in Turkey and raised in France, I now build games, websites and interfaces in Korea.
My projects range from PC and mobile games to websites and WebGL applications. I am a game developer first, a web wizard second, and a UI/UX designer with a sense of aesthetic and chaos.
I'm always open to new opportunities. Feel free to check out my projects or reach out.
Worlds and how they are built: game design, environment art, procedural systems and multiplayer architecture.
The web as a platform: WebGL, real-time 3D in the browser and fast, well-crafted interfaces.
Local-first software, developer tooling and AI that runs on the device rather than in the cloud.
I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science with a Human-Computer Interaction specialisation and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, both from Toulouse, France. Open the files below for details.
Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering and Computer Science (developer track), Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier, 2020. Programming foundations, algorithms, databases and software engineering.
Master IHM (Human-Computer Interaction) in Computer Science, Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier and ENAC, 2022: developer and UI/UX designer track. Projects included the HoloLens 2 microscope visualiser for the CEMES laboratory and the VR flight simulator for ISAE-SUPAERO.
Over the last years I have shipped games and web products in France and South Korea: multiplayer installations and WebGL metaverses at Circus Company, a database migration at Capgemini, VR and mixed-reality research projects for ISAE-SUPAERO and the CEMES laboratory. Today I lead the development team building Clor AI, a professional photo editor, at Infinique in Seoul.
On the side I run Caesium Games and its Arcanyst universe: Arcanyst Chaos, Arcane Heist, three casual mobile games published on Google Play, and the studio's websites and account platform.
I have been building games since the Unity 4 days, creating APIs from scratch, managing AWS and Azure infrastructure, and mentoring other Unity and web developers.
Game engines: Unity (C#, Netcode for GameObjects, WebGL, AR/VR, HoloLens 2) and Unreal Engine 5 (Blueprint, C++).
Web: TypeScript, React, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, Fastify, PostgreSQL, Svelte, Tauri, Electron, Capacitor, Three.js and Astro.
Cloud and tooling: AWS, Azure, Docker, CI/CD, .NET and SQL Server. Design with Figma, Adobe XD, Photoshop, Illustrator and Blender.
On-device AI integration (TensorFlow, ONNX) for real-time image processing in the browser.
I lead a development team today, which means setting clear priorities, reviewing code and unblocking people before writing my own.
I work comfortably across cultures and languages: French native, fluent in English, and living and working in Korean in Seoul.
Full-stack curiosity: I enjoy owning a feature from the design mock-up to the deployed API, and documenting it so the next developer is never lost.
A long-time fan of the Warcraft universe (yes, I quote peons at work) and a player of action-adventure and puzzle games: The Witness, The Talos Principle and Zelda are direct inspirations for Arcanyst.
I also enjoy taking things apart: game jams, hyper-casual challenges and editor tools such as Git Status Overlay all come from that habit.
Drawing interfaces in Figma, modelling in Blender and writing lore for the Arcanyst universe.
Building tools for myself, like Kairnet, when the existing ones don't fit the way I work.
