Philippe Roy currently works for Nuance Communications in Montreal. He acquired much of his experience in the software industry for more than 20 years through his active participation in many high-profile projects such as IBM's ViaVoice, IBM's Product Manager, VoiceBox Technologies, just to name a few. He is proficient in OO Design, knowledgeable about the intellectual-property world (he owns many patents), trilingual, and passionate about being part of a team that creates great code. Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention, he has a special thing for speech recognition and natural language processing... The magic of first seeing a computer transform something as chaotic as sound into intelligible and useful output has never left him.
