Highlighted experiences

• I started computers and programming as my main activity when I was 10 years old, more than 20 years ago.
• I worked for about two years at Farmers Edge Inc. as software developer and senior software developer which helped me learn a lot about multi-disciplinary teamwork, GIS and growth stage businesses.
• I wrote the code for Graphesent Anim diagram and process visualization software currently belonging to Gradelms Software Inc. with Canada business number 709803886 which is founded by me.
• I was lucky to be the tutorial instructor for the tutorial of Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science course at the University of Lethbridge for two semesters. (I love discrete mathematics).
