About me

I am a Web development entrepreneur living in Montreal, QC, Canada.

I learnt programming at the age of 9 when me dad showed my all he knew about it : print and input commands in Basic language. 9 months later, I had exhausted my PET 7KB memory, then it was a TRS-80 model 100, then a i8086.

I had the chance to meet Benoît Leroux at the age of 16, who gave me my first shot as a web programmer. I programmed the first search engine of Go! Montreal, a now deceased web directory devoted to Montreal web sites.

I later worked as a technical support agent for TotalNet (bought by BCE Emergis at the end of the 90) and CAM Internet (now named Cooptel), where I became network operator, then IT operations director. I briefly worked for Zero Knowledge Systems (now named Radial Point) as well.

I also founded my web development/programming company, Quantik Solutions, in 1998, and partnered with Frédéric Trudeau in 2006. We have had 3 full time employees, and many big and smaller customers. We merged in 2008 with orangetango, a communication company, to become their Web division. I left the agency in April 2009.

I have great professional interest in PHP programming, Flash programming, usability, marketing, artificial intelligence, statistics, and software architecture.
