I love computers.
I enjoy making them do things.
I currently design and implement web pages for my company's Intranet. Don't laugh, this is very serious stuff! We are responsible for all the business processes that allow us to earn several millions dollars every month.
I like to experiment with new languages and technologies, as well as trying on different hats, like system administrator or coffee shop owner. I'm at my best when I have the opportunity to focus on different things during the year.
In everything I do, I look for Quality, as defined in the book: Zen and the Art of Motocycle Maintenance (you really should read it!) This level of Quality is hard to achieve and I try my hardest to hone my skills and get closer to it every year.
I am currently focusing on building a digital persona for myself through a blog and learning Ruby. I also tutor people who want to learn French when I'm given the chance to do so.
My next project? I want to build an accounting system where the user experience can be plugged in. I'm tired of what's on the market right now.
Software design, user interface design.
Customer (or stakeholder) relations.
.Net languages (C# and VB while keeping an eye on Ruby, Python and F#)
