Design + Programming = Even(emen)ts

Grâce à mon éducation et expérience en sciences informatiques, en multimédia et en design, il m'est possible de m'appliquer dans une multitude de domaines. En ce moment, je me concentre sur celui de l'événementiel, à l'intérieur du programme de Design d'événements à l'UQÀM, Montréal.

After a bachelor's degree in Computer Science & Computation Arts, and a few years experience working as a web developer, I am now pursuing a grad degree in Event Design at l'UQAM, Montreal.

    Currently applying my multidisciplinary nature to the engaging field of Event Design, to create living experiences for real people and such. A busy year in sight!
  - May 2008 - Sept 2010
    Designer / Developer / Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance, Concordia University
    
    The Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance, at Concordia University, hired me immediately after I graduated, as a Designer/Developer for the educational software they produce for school boards in Canada, the U.S. and other parts of the world. I gained experience as a lead developer here, and I greatly enjoyed playing a part in a wide range of tasks: managing a (small) team of developers and debuggers, dealing with clients, designing, developing, and delivering a product. Programming-wise, I mostly developed for the web using Flash Actionscript.

    The Topological Media Lab is an atelier-studio-laboratory directed by Sha Xin Wei (Canada Research Chair in Media Arts and Sciences) which specializes in live events and responsive environments. As a research assistant to Professor Sha, I participated in multi-disciplinary exhibition projects; working on project management, interactive architecture, graphic & print design, and the occasional bit of programming.
