About Me

My name is Cyril Mottier, and I’m a mobile product devsigner (i.e. I consider myself as both a designer and a developer) and user experience/interface engineer. I used to work at Captain Train as the Head of Mobile and Web and participated to several startups before that. I’m an expert on the Android platform and have been recognized as it by the community.

I mainly focus on creating polished, pixel-perfect, smooth and responsive applications helping end users achieve their goals painlessly and, more importantly, as quickly as possible. This blog is where I write about my experiences and passions.
