Our Team

Benoit Dubuc, Ph.D.
Training: electrical engineering

Benoit is responsible for project management and the integration of different training programs for Espace Courbe. While at McGill University, he specialized in computer vision research on topics such as curve complexity, visual representations and rough surfaces. He has been a member of the Canadian delegation for the International Space University in 1989, specializing in remote sensing. His interests for image processing and document manipulation lead him to start up Espace Courbe in 1996, and to specialize in the creation of interactive multimedia content for the Web. If you ever talk to him, beware, his passion for the medium is contagious!

Juan Stéphan
Training: arts

As skilled with his brushes as with the mouse, Juan is an expert in HTML layout and loves being challenged to push the limits of the medium. If you ever sit in one of his classes, you will see how passionate he is. He knows how to make you smile and gets you "addicted" to content creation.

Patrick Turmel
Training: computer science

Patrick worked in building architecture for three memorable years. During this period, in which numerization and design were merging more and more, his information processing avidity remained strong. A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Perl, Java and especially Vim, have since become daily programming allies.

Christian Fecteau
Training:self-taught guru

This quote from the Urban Dictionary about Christian is eloquent:

“A crazy JavaScript/dHTML coder who pushes the language to it's ultimate limits and has way too much time on his hand.”

And the comment to this quote goes like this: “Oh, there goes that cfec again, hacking Microsoft with JScript”. This couldn't best describe Christian!

Stéphane Franic

Stéphane has a passion for computer science since he was a kid. He loves music, in particular Jimmy Hendrix and enjoys taking walks. From Paris to Montreal, with a stop in Tahiti, he is now our network administrator. He puts our Web sites online, configures software and makes sure that the network runs smoothly.
