My name is Ivan Kanis and I live in Nantes in France. I love riding my bicycle in this green city.
I was born in Edinburgh of a Scottish father and a French mother, I have lived in both of my parents' native countries, in addition to Japan and the United
States.
I am a computer programmer with an especially deep partiality for open source software. I have a strong belief in not reinventing the wheel and of the exponential progress which can be achieved by working
collaboratively.
I really like computers and what can be accomplished with them. I have written a program called PocketKanji to allow people to study Japanese.
I worked for seven years at WRQ (a maker of network software and one of the top software firms in Seattle, Washington, USA) and have learned to be a proficient programmer. I have a solid understanding of the stages required to build quality software.
I, also, worked for a year at Microsoft where I tested the developing software which would become Japanese Windows 95.
