I'm located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
### Blogging I've been blogging since august 2003 with the objective of sharing my passion and experience of the high-tech industry. You'll find articles, opinions and materials mostly about, * Innovation, High-Tech Startups & Business * Design, iPhone Applications, High-End Mobile Software * IT Software Architecture & Web Development * Software Development, Methodologies & Management * 3D Computer Graphics & Video Game Development ### Bio **2009:** CTO at [WhereCloud](http://wherecloud.com). We are a talented mobile creative studio, experts in strategy, design and product development. Our mission is to We help innovative startups, big brands and businesses to go mobile.

Being part of the Advanced Technology Group, I did research & development of next-generation mobile games taking advantage of high-speed 3G networks, accelerated 3D graphics to build [real-time persistent multiplayer worlds.](http://fredbrunel.com/journal/2006/09/how-to-build-an-innovative-mmo-on-mobile/) **2000:** Software engineer at [Eovia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eovia) on the 3Space project, pioneering 3D technology and real-time rendering for the web. **1998:** Game developer at [Kalisto Entertainment](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalisto_Entertainment) on a real-time 3D racing video game 4 Wheel Thunder designed for the [Sega Dreamcast](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast).
