Bio
Name: Etienne Robillard
Date of birth: March 14 1981
Description
Full-time student. Got a master degree in hacking. Looking to open a hacking school for training prospective students to the art and science of hacking with an emphasis on responsible appropriation of technology and computer science for artistic purposes.
In 2007 I started a business named "Green Tea Hackers Club" offering custom Django and Python programming services to online customers.
In 2009-2010 I got a job at NFB (National Film Board of Canada) which helped me to study further Python programming. However they insisted to follow new directions in the research and development of mobile (wireless) applications, thus the need for legacy web development (server-oriented) became less a priority for them as they told me to justify my contract ending.
In 2010 I had a contract with a person named Christopher Hart (Numberlust inc), where I was recruited as a freelancer to develop a Django web site. Unfortunately the company who recruited me decided to omit payment once the site has been finished. The source code is however in my possession and interested individuals may contact me if interested to acquire exclusive copyrights.
In 2011-2012 I had personal difficulties due to extreme low incomes and have been expulsed from the appartment I was living as unable to pay for my rent. This was my first time ever to sleep outside and I don't wish anyone to lose their home as this is extremely tough on the moral. Fortunately I found a temporary place to live until the issue resolved and started to study biology on a full-time basis.
In 2013 My customers are pretty much inexistent and employment is not much an option. Most of the web development is now oriented towards wireless-driven (mobile) applications were Javascript-based MVC replaced server-oriented frameworks. So far employers I encountered for the most part don't feel regrets or empathy in embrassing such proprietary technologies and don't feel any guilt in breaking the web in distinctive proprietary markets for profit gains.
