Highlights

I have been programming since I was 9 years old. I used to create small game on my COCO II (Tandy) computer in Basic. Later on, I still created small games on an Apple and then on a PC using Turbo Pascal.

At 14 (1990-91), I created management programs for the City of Montreal Fire Department. My father, being a fireman, had asked me to create a few programs to help the firemen in completing various order forms and reports. Several of these men used and enjoyed the programs I had created in Turbo Pascal.

Received the gold medal for Quebec in the Professional and Technical Training Olympiads in May 1996.
