Education

Computer Engineering (Co-operative Education Program)
University of Ottawa (Ontario)
Graduated with High Honors

Technical Skill	Ability to design, prototype, test and assemble electronic circuits Have experience using instruments such as function generators, oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers in a laboratory environment Worked with Altera NIOS Development Kit (APEX and Cyclone editions)
Programming	Have work experience in HT/HP Basic, UnrealScript, Visual Basic, Visual C/C++ as well as academic knowledge of Perl, VHDL, Java (with jBuilder and Eclipse), CVS/SVN and assembler on Intel 8085, Motorola 68HC12 and Microchip PIC12F675 (RISC)
Software	Excellent knowledge of the followings programs: MATLAB, UnrealED, Altera Max Plus II & Quartus II, Electronics Workbench, PSPICE, Windows 3.0-XP, Linux/Unix (Debian and Gentoo distributions)
Communication	Fluently bilingual in both official languages Developed superlative written skills with a student newspaper Shown excellent oral abilities during an entrepreneurship contest

Xbox Remote Add-on	Designed a small circuit board that, when interfaced with an Xbox console, allows the user to power up the device using a remote control. The circuit makes use of a PIC12F675 micro controller programmed in assembler.
Maze-solving robot	Participated in the design, integration and testing of a maze-solving robot. This robot would navigate a maze, recording its configuration and finding the shortest path. This fourth year project was managed in groups of 6. I have written most of the VHDL code required to operate the robot's IR sensors and motors as well as written the core navigation and data processing units. I have also written the GUI of the Java software used to monitor the robot.
Robotic manipulator	Performed, with a partner, the conception and implementation of a controller for a robotic arm. This MATLAB software would use a digital camera to take a picture of the workspace and would then control the arm to pickup the object and deposit it elsewhere.
iRATE Radio	Written a Java plug-in for the open source iRATE Radio client. Plug-in notifies the user when a song requires rating. Have also done the French translation.
