Mathieu Tremblay Software Engineer

I'm a Software Engineer cares about quality. My ability to learn quickly allows me to pick-up new technologies and adapt easily to new environments and projects. I have experience working on natural language processing, distributed applications, web development, video games and mobile applications.

Work Experience

I've been working on CosmosDB since 2021, before that I was working on Windows 11 and Windows 10X.

Before that, I was an intern in the shell team from 2016-2018 at Microsoft in Redmond, Washington where I've worked with C++/CX and XAML.

My first internship was for Microsoft in Vancouver, Canada. I was part of what is now called The Garage, which puts together teams of interns who work during 16 weeks on creating a project from start to finish. I got to work with C#, Unity 3D, XAML, Windows Phone, the Microsoft Band and Bluetooth.

At the same time, I worked at Galerie 2000, which is an Art Gallery in Montreal, as a Salesman, Framer and Web Developer. During the summer, I worked on creating a new website for the Gallery.

Education

I have completed a Bachelor of software engineering at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Since my first year, I have been involved in the following students organisation:

  • Organiser and lead developer of the platform for the LHGames, an Artificial intelligence competition with more than 150 contestants.
  • Webmaster for CEGL and CEGInfo (Software & Computer engineering students organisation) from 2013 to 2017
And I've worked on various projects for school:
  • Personnal project: AMAL (Ask Me in Any Language) for QALD2017. A colleague and I placed first for Question Answering over Linked Data for the french category of the competition.
  • Final undergrad project was using machine learning to detect features on houses to determine the insurance premium in collaboration with Intact Assurances.
  • 3rd year Project was expanding our 2nd project by adding networking functionalities, where I implemented most of the client/server communication
  • 2nd year Video game Project (Making a Pinball game in C++ with a C# interface)
  • 1st year Robot project (Building and programming two robots, in C++, that work together to complete an obstacle race)

Here are my past publications:

Before my bachelors of software engineering, I got a CEGEP degree in Mathematics and Computer Science at Collège Lionel-Groulx. This is when I had my first programming class, which I ended up loving. I followed 3 programming classes and then had a project class where my teammate and I decided to do a remake of the Slenderman video game.

Personal Projects

For the Engineering games of 2017, I've worked on building a robot that's controlled using an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi using a laptop as the controller. I was responsible for part of the UI implementation and also working with OpenCV to find the targets we were aiming for.
