Summary
Stéphane Volet is a seasoned web generalist and founder with over two decades of hands-on experience building and operating internet services, from early modem-era hacks to modern PHP and Ruby on Rails RESTful applications. As owner of zboïng inc. since 2003 and former webmaster for the Barreau du Québec, he blends interaction design, backend engineering, project management, and web metrics to deliver end-to-end solutions. He cut his teeth running an ISP and taming network stacks in the 1990s, and has a knack for surfacing practical search and syndication features—once even compiling a Java runtime in a jailed BSD server to power faceted “best bet” results. Classically trained in music composition, Stéphane brings a creative, systems-oriented mindset to technical problems and an appetite for pragmatic, duct-tape engineering when it gets the job done. Based in Montreal, he remains an old-school web dinosaur who still enjoys diving into low-level infrastructure and interface details.
