As Patrice tagged me, it is at me now to say 5 “unknown” things about me. I think that will not be very difficult as I do not say anything about me on this tech’blog. So… let’s go!
- First of all, I am from Orleans, a little-medium sized town 120 km south to Paris where I lived until I have been 17 (and until I have had my “baccalauréat”). I came in Paris and have been a student at Supinfo since this time (for the curious ones, I am 22 now, less than most of my current students ^^).
- I am a musician (a fucking artist as would say my friends of Supinfo .Net Lab…), I play the guitar and the clarinet (at least, I played the clarinet, since I did not play it for about 6 months).
- I am a “Supinfo certified trainer” since September 2005. That means that I specialized myself in Microsoft .Net technologies and WEB development, and for my two last years at school, I teach to other students stuff like C#, ASP.NET, Windows Forms, ADO.NET, Remoting and non Microsoft subjects like XHTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP… That means too that when I am not teaching, I am training myself on recent or upcoming technologies such as .Net 3.0, C# 3, ADO.NET vNext, ASP.Net Ajax extensions (Soon on this blog, a forum engine based on ASP.NET and Ajax extensions which is my “project of the moment”. I promise something pretty cool).
- I am in my last year at Supinfo… so I am looking for a job. I will be free from September 2007. Feel free to download source codes on this blog to have an overview of my technical skills and maybe send an email to “Simon dot ferquel [nospam] at supinfo dot com” for more details on my profile.
- I have a big default: I am a World of Warcraft player. A few months ago, I was really addicted, I have even been a raid leader, I played every nights… This game is very cool, but also very life-intrusive… So I reduced my game-time and replaced it (in part...) with “at-home development” time. MyExposé is born during this “World of Warcraft cure”!
So I have to tag other blogs to propagate the chain… The winners are: Yann Lautrédou (my team manager), Thomas Lebrun (another SCT actually in internship at Microsoft France), and Mitsuru Furuta (Microsoft France evangelist, C# addicted and leader of the MathFX project).
