François Dang Ngoc [Francois.DangNgoc@gmail.com]’s Summary

I am currently working in Toronto for yoonew (http://www.yoonew.com) after after having worked for the same company in New York City for 18 months.

I was previously in Vancouver, BC working as an IT consultant for various startup companies. I developed different solutions related to search engine, video conversion on a cluster and services management.

Before that, I completed my PhD degree on security of data using smart card technologies.

In all my positions, I take part in the design, specification, development, documentation and tests.

For more details, you can take a look at my resume:

I like to work on innovative solutions and be kept challenged. My interests are on distributed systems, social network, finance and web technologies.

I am an open networker so feel free to connect.
