I became interested in software development as soon as I was able to get my hands on a computer. That was a while ago and the computer was TRS-80 Model 1 Level II (16K Ram). My second computer was the Commodore 64.

I went to the University of Lowell and obtained my Bachelors degree in Computer Science.

I then worked for Digital Equipment Corporation where I had the awesome opportunity to work on a graphics related project with a bunch of great people. I remained in the semi-conductor CAD industry ever since.

My hobbies are programming and photography. You can see my photos at https://www.flickr.com/photos/jimladeroute/
