About Me
Hi there, my name is Christophe Meneboeuf.
I started with computers around 1983 when my father bought an Apple //e for his work. I spent many hours gaming, and also did a bit of programming in Applesoft BASIC.
At the end of the 80s I became a PC user, still gaming and programming. This time in Quick Basic and Turbo Pascal. I never owned a 16-bit console or home computer, although I craved for an Amiga. I was fascinated by the demos running on the machine demonstrating its capabilities. Many years later, the first "retro" machine I bought was an Amiga 500.
After a specialization in embedded software engineering, I worked many years for a defense contractor. Nowadays, I am in the video game industry, contributing to emulation projects.
During my free time, I code for various personal projects, some of them mentioned in this blog.
I also have a passion for photography and travels. You can see my pictures from various places around the world at https://www.xtof.photo.
