In 2008, I co-founded Nimonik.ca, a web service that helps businesses understand their environmental, health, and safety legal obligations. We also offer iOS tools for inspecting based on audit and verification lists on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch that uses the world’s largest database of free checklists. We offer a number of services and work with companies across multiple sectors. Visit the site for much more information and videos. The company is on twitter @nimonik
In 2010, I co-founded Montreal Ouvert, a citizen initiative that promotes open access to civic information for the region of Montreal. You can see my launch blog post here, and find out a lot more by visiting the site. If you are interested in Open-Data and love Montréal, reach out to us at info@montrealouvert.net or on twitter @mtlouvert. On October 27th, 2011, the city of Montreal passed an open-data policy and put in place an open-data portal – we accomplished our goal! Watch my 4 minute TEDxConcordia Talk about the initiative here.
In 2011, I co-founded a non-profit called Open North (or Nord Ouvert) that aims to improve canadian democracy through online tools. The two other co-founders are James McKinney and Bernard Rudny. The organisation has built Resto-Net.ca and PatinerMontreal.ca and has more recently completed BudgetPlateau.com (now a platform called CitizenBudget.com), the Montreal Gazette Documents database, and MaMairie.ca. See all of our projects here.
I founded MakeyourGirlfriendHappy.com in late 2010. To paraphrase Anna Karenina, “Happy couples are all alike, each unhappy couple is unique”. With that in mind, it seems like a service which promotes the commonalities of happy couples might help pull us towards a passing grade. We’re on twitter, click here to follow us. Heck, we’re even on Facebook too, click here for that!
