A Little About Me

Hi, I am FX, software developer and lawyer based in Montréal, Québec.

My passion for software engineering comes from an early-age enthusiasm for video games and technology. My specific interests are geared towards web & mobile apps technologies, infrastructure and software engineering best practices.

Outside tech, what I enjoy most is music (drums and trumpet), scotch tasting and boxing.
