About me

RenaudBorn in the early 80’s in France, natively fed by 70’s SciFi movies (2001: A space odyssey), I spent many (many) times disassembling electronic stuff like alarm-clock, radio, remote control, or toys ;)
My really first computer was an EXL 100 from Exelvision with a really cool speech synthethizer on board, but my first (humble) success on programming were done on my AMSTRAD CPC 6128, before being really interested by the “what’s-in-the-box” question : I started learning electronic at college, designing various home-made projects like a free RDS encoder or a wireless TI92 link.
Now graduated as Electronic Engineer, I designed different kinds of devices for disparate industries, but for now, I’m working for a company designing electronic devices managing buildings security, mostly involved in low-level software (embedding Linux) and CAD designs.
Largely interested in hacks and technology, Symbian enthusiast, Open Source activist, I practice photography too : most of my pictures are available (copyright free) on my Coppermine gallery.
Finally, despite my girlfriend opinion, I consider myself as a techie, rather than a geek, despite a score of 1790 at the Geek Test ;)
