Ever since I was a little kid, software development was my passion. I still remember sitting in front of a Pentium 3 computer and making it print "Hello world" for the very first time. As I went through the BASIC tutorial, it was almost magic, being able to get the computer to do whatever I wanted. I wanted more than printing "Hello world", I latched on to any ideas for projects I could get. I learned C, C++, Java tearing through any books I could find on anything remotely related to software development. I find myself facing many challenges, solving complex problems, developing games, desktop applications, web sites, and APIs.This passion carried me through my education at Polytechnique. I studied new languages, algorithms, compilers, all with pretty much the same fascination that drove me as a kid.So, now, at Winshot, this passion remains with me. There's yet more to learn, yet more problems to solve, and yet more to build. And for this, I am very grateful.
