My name is Matthew Gallant and I’m a software engineering major at Concordia University, Montreal. I’ve been writing The Quixotic Engineer as a hobby since June 2007. I do so for several reasons:
- I enjoy casual writing, and do very little non-technical writing at school.
- I use this blog as a journal, and often catalogue personal projects, events, etc.
- Jeff Atwood convinced me that writing well was just as important as programming at CUSEC 2008 (you can check out his keynote slides here.)
In my personal life, I’m a huge nerd. I spend most of my free time reading, programming, listening to music and playing video games. I am fascinated by the potential of video games as an artistic medium, and as such I greatly admire designers who innovate and experiment. My goal is to someday work as a game developer.
I am currently seeking internships/co-op employment, especially in the video game industry. I have included my resume below, you can contact me at
