Gaetan Cretton

Head of R&D

Gaetan, can you introduce yourself?

I work at Atracsys Interactive since 2014. I obtained an EPFL masters degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Computer Vision, Graphics and Interfaces. Before joining Atracsys I was working for a machine learning and robotics lab at EPFL.

What is your role within Atracsys Interactive?

As a senior software engineer and certified Scrum Master, my day to day activities include meeting our clients to understand their needs, designing the best solution within their constraints, and a large amount of coding.

I also supervise our DevOps pipeline and explore new technologies in our R&D projects.

According to you, what are the assets of Atracsys?

If we have to define Atracsys Interactive with a sentence, it would be: You want it, we do it!

We have the ability to prototype and develop custom solutions in a very short time and to my point of view this is our most praised strength.

What project was the most significant for you?

Actually, the first project I worked on was very interesting!

We wrapped a very complex simulation of the state of energy in Switzerland by the year 2050 into an appealing application for a museum. Visitors could choose their own political strategies to find the most viable and clean mix of energy sources.

That was a big challenge and we succeeded – Great experience!
