The makings of a true entrepreneur. This sums up, in a few words, an important facet of the personality of Antoine Azar, who recently obtained his bachelor’s degree in computer engineering from the École Polytechnique Montréal. In 1999, at the age of eighteen, with an international bachelor’s degree from the Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, he founded his own Internet development company as well as a Web site for the sale of second-hand textbooks which today brings together over 70,000 Québec students. The editor of a student science journal from 2003 to 2004, a member of the Polymage computer graphics team at the École Polytechnique Montréal from 2000 to 2001 and of the Polytechnique team which participated in the international virtual reality competition held in France in 2004, Antoine also led the Polytechnique team, as captain, to a sixth place at the North American Computer Science Games in 2004. Actively involved with Amnesty International from 1998 to 1999, he also, as a volunteer, passed on his love for karate to children aged 5 to 10. He is currently pursuing graduate studies in medical imaging.
