My name is Ulysse (born Benjamin) and I am a software engineer/game developer, writer, and video maker. This will be my personal home page until another Ulysse Pence makes a compelling offer.

You should read my content if you're interested in game development/computer graphics, understanding modern culture, productivity, rationality, software, or Mandarin. Are you interested in going on an adventure? Let's collaborate or talk about how I can work for you!

You can hear more from me through YouTube, Twitter, or email: ulysse at ulyssepence.com. I really do love answering questions and hearing from people about what excites them.
