My name is Michel Boudreau (or Mike/Michael for you english folk).  I’m a Creative Developer living in New York City who specializes in web technologies (Flash/Flex mostly).  I say ‘Creative Developer’ because my job is to combine both art and functionality in web applications. I’m working for a company called Lab49 as an Analyst Technology Consultant.

I was born and raised in a small town called Caraquet in the Acadian Peninsula (north-east) of New Brunswick, Canada.  At the age of 17, I moved to Ottawa to study and hopefully make a name for myself in one of Canada’s largest IT sectors. After several years in the web industry, I was recruited and promptly moved to New York City to pursue my passion for bleeding edge technology in one of the fastest moving markets of the world.

During my free time, I play sports, rock out on the bass guitar, brew beer and watch the game (Go Sens Go!).  I’m a goalkeeper in soccer and middle/offside/libero in volleyball.  I’m currently a certified Level 1 volleyball coach and I coached for 4 years before coming to New York; hopefully I will get to coach again in the future.
