I believe the author is female.
One more FYI: "he" is grammatically considered a neuter form unless otherwise informed, just like in Spanish and other romantic languages which don't bother making up "zhe" pronouns and the like. If the GP didn't know or care about exactly who Maxime is, "he" would be correct regardless of his actual gender.
Yes, wiki-link but with 3 immediate useful references in the first paragraph. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_and_gender-neu...

I very rarely see native English speakers use "he" as a gender neutral pronoun. It's usually plural they (when stating generalities) or singular they [0]. I find singular they much less ambiguous and sexist than "he" and you'll rarely find someone taking issue with its use, something that cannot be said about generic "he" as can be seen above.

I typically only see they being used when it's not about a specific person. It's hard and strange to use 'they' when you know the name of the person you are talking about.
No. See Maxime with his partner http://gingearstudio.com/about

Just an FYI, Maxime is a boy's name. I'm guessing you saw the name at the top and assumed it was a girl.
I am not saying one thing is better than other, but in general you have to choose a mindset that is more in aligned to your life goals as well as stage in your life. Not every one can be entrepreneur, but the author of the post has right kind of experience as to succeed as one, even though he might have disliked parts of his job at Ubisoft, it is the experience he picked there and the skills he developed to survive the noise and collaborative grunt work would be more useful for his indie games enterprise.
