My name is Julien Gervais-Bird and I am an application developer and technical project manager. I come from Canada, but i now live in the suburb of Paris with my girlfriend and our kid.
My interest in programming goes back to when I was 12 years old. It was at that age that I taught myself the ST BASIC language. Still today, I enjoy bringing myself up to date on recent programming technologies and methodologies. In order to do so, I regularly consult specialized news sources. Then, when it's adequate, I apply the knowledge at work or in personal projects.
I also have a passion for traveling. I had the chance of visiting many countries in America and I am happy to continue discovering new regions in France and elsewhere in Europe.
