Hi there, I'm Charles Barbier.

I'm a ruby hacker from Montreal.

I build easy to maintain website and web application that rocks, on the top of technologies such as the Ruby On Rails framework.

I work fast and efficient, so that my clients projects get done in delays and budgets, while keeping the end-user needs in mind.

In my work, I benefit a lot from open source
1. I contribute to open source project when I can.
I try to stay open mind, and like healthy arguments
2. I'm someone easy to deal with.
I like to take life with a touch of humour
3. I'm funny in two language, French and English.
I'm passionate about technologies
4. I'm a gadget addict
I like to discuss about cinemas
5. I own a video store business. I'm a successful entrepreneur, I've sold my video store in 2010.

My favoured programming environment is:

• Ruby, the programming language
• Ruby On Rails, the web application framework
• Javascript, standards-compliant code in a web-browser

I also happen to have experience with the following technologies

• .NET framework, from Microsoft
• PHP, the popular programming language in the web
• * And a lot of stuff since I started playing with hypercards, including C, Python, Perl, ActionScript, and more.
