About me

tommy.jpgI am a 27 years old 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 also met Benoit’s business partner Martin Langlois, with who I still work every now and then.

I later worked as a technical support agent for TotalNet (bought my 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 now have 3 full time employees, and many big and smaller customers.

While I have quite a lot of experience in my field for my age, I don’t have any diploma in computer science. I finished high school in 1997, and lately got a certificate in business management from UQÀM in 2007. I’m actually pursuing a marketing certificate and a business management undergraduate, also at UQÀM.

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

I have great personal interest in music, volleyball, weight training, stock markets, movies and general outdoor activities.

Cheers!
