Patrice Peyret’s Summary
I like to initiate / make an impact on services and products that touch consumers in large numbers: I have worked in consumer electronics (digital TV, set-top-boxes, home PCs), developed smart cards, contributed to Java for cell phones, established an international SMS (text messages) network, and am now doing a "virtual bank for the youth".
Consumer electronics, wireless telecomunications, financial services and computer software are my technical specialties.
Next stage, use the money to make a difference for people whom high-tech usually ignores: kids in the developing world, but also artists and other people who dream of a better world.
