Yes, I have been a programmer for more than 10 years. I worked with different companies in the past doing embedded and mobile applications.
Designing a user interface system that works on touch screen devices like phones and tablets. The challenge was to achieve the proper balance between too few options and a too complicated interface.
After graduating in 2006, Guillaume has been working as a software engineer for 4 years in Taiwan on various software development projects for the Taiwan Astrophysics Institute the OpenMoko project and in the French startup Toro.
He is now the founder of Noctua Software Limited and still lives in Taiwan.
I mostly use productivity apps to help with my daily life and work,
like emails, messaging apps, etc.
Stellarium Mobile is a port of the desktop version that was created by my brother in 2001. We have been working on the mobile version together for several years.
We wanted to present the most realistic view of the night sky.
We try to make sure Stellarium Mobile offers the most realistic rendering of the sky, without compromising its usability as a star map. The plus version of the app is also able to access additional data online when the network is available, which allows seeing more than a billion stars.
The next updates will bring a lot of improvements to the user interface. We are also going to introduce some educational materials to explore the constellations and solar system.
I hope you enjoy our app and find it useful. Don't hesitate to contact us for any suggestion or problem, as we are always interested to hear from you.
