A few days
ago, Max interviewed our very talented Software Developer and Add-On Manager, André Sanscartier, who is one of the pioneers here at
Devolutions.
Well today
is another special day, as we would like to introduce you another pioneer.
Please meet our very smart, somewhat shy and extremely friendly web developer
and graphic designer, Matthieu Goulet!
As with
André, Matt has been at Devolutions since the beginning. In fact, he was the
first employee. His most recent projects include our great new website,
brochure and stand for Microsoft TechEd 2013. To help you get to know Matt a bit
better, I interviewed him a few days ago. My questions are in bold, followed by
Matt’s answers.
Well, my first real job was
as a webmaster for the FINA WORLD MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIP of Montreal in 2005. This championship is the Federation’s biggest competition in terms of participation. Every
two years it welcomes swimmers, divers and water polo players from all corners
of the world. Since then, I've had several jobs that have provided me with a
great deal of knowledge and experience.
How did you and David meet?
In 2005, my cousin
introduced David to me at a Halloween party. We talked about our professions
without even knowing that we would eventually work together. At that time, Remote Desktop Manager was still in its early days.
When did you start working at
Devolutions and how was it at the very beginning?
I
started working on Devolutions’ website in 2005. It was on a contract basis,
as at the time I was still working with other
companies.
A
few years and a couple of jobs later, I asked David if he knew of any contacts
or companies that could use my services. That’s when he told me more about RDM
and how it was growing in popularity, and to my surprise, he invited me to work
with him. Of course, I said yes! And it was the beginning of a great adventure.
What has changed about Devolutions
since you started?
Well,
the image of the company has changed dramatically! We have new offices, several new faces, and very
competent people and partners who believe in David’s vision! I am very excited
about the future of RDM. Things are going very well, and I am convinced that we
are on the right track. We work hard every day to reach our customers and
satisfy them. The sky’s the limit!
My
main role is to provide all of the company’s graphic image and website design
and development needs. I’m fortunate, because back in Montreal I worked in the
IT department as the resource person. This experience allowed me to learn so
much, and has given me very versatile skills. So I’m not just a designer, but
I’m also a programmer – all in one ;).
As
for tools, I work a lot with Photoshop, InDesign, Visual Studio and Firefox. For the web, I work
mainly with FireBug (firefox plugin) to test my css.
What are some of your hobbies?
I
love to play guitar and piano. I also like to create my own compositions.
Definitely,
Forest Gump and Dune.
What music do you listen to?
RadioHead,
Nick Drake, Wilco, The Police and The Doors.
What invention would you have liked
to create?
I
wish I had created an invention that does not even exist: a remote control that
controls time, as in the movie Click with Adam Sandler.
Would you like to say something to our community?
Thank you so much for trusting us and using RDM. How do you like our new website? I would really appreciate your comments and suggestions. You can be assured that we will all keep working really hard!
