About

Specialized in Remote Sensing, Natural Resources, Climate, International Personal Privacy Protection Software Applications Design, Architecture, Hands-on Implementation and Documentation.

From 2017 to 2023, currently working on Art everything, an Automated Content Generation Cloud Solution for Personal Privacy Protection over the Internet, as well as working on a Log everything Cloud Solution for Operating System Sessions, to be deployed in 2023 by the startup SPI CORP on SPI.RUN.

Winter 2023, seeking strategic short-term remote C and C++ software development contracts to be executed in Canada.

Full resume in short:

Since 1980, over 40-year experience developing Assembly, Basic, Fortran, Pascal, C and C++ Commodore 6502, DEC-VMS, MS-DOS, AT&T, Berkeley and others UNIX, Apple Finder, Sun-Solaris, MS-Windows Client and Server Applications, Algorithms, Libraries and both graphical and non-graphical Computer-Human Interfaces using DEC, IBM, Intel, Microsoft and GNU compilers (WIN32, MFC, STL, FREEIMAGE, GDAL/OGR, OIFIILIB, VOROGUI, FFMPEG, OPENCV, OPENVINO, ONEAPI, LIBAV, LIBAVCODEC, LIBVLC, ASIOSDK, PORTAUDIO, PORTMIDI, BASS, LIBSNDFILE, TONIC AUDIO, ZYNADDSUBFX and many more).

From 1992 to 2010, developed closed source Imaging and Mapping applications for researchers, governments, and companies in Quebec - Canada, and for military schools and companies in Southern California - USA.

From 2010 to 2021, independently developed over 200 Audio and Video open-source Applications and Algorithms available online from my GitHub account at https://github.com/oifii.

In 2022, finalizing LINUX OS server implementation as well as MACOS and WINDOWS client implementation. All SPI CORP software still integrated solely by POIRIER, SPI. SPI CORP does not rely on any risk capital nor any employees yet. Thanks to persistence and to the power from knowledge sharing by reusing hundreds of beautifully designed and solid multi-platform open source libraries.

    I created https://www.DocteurOrdinateur.ORG to learn about computer system security. For the first 5 years, between 2002 and 2007, I have performed virus and malware extractions without system re-installation. Troubleshoot hardware and driver conflicts.

    I created https://www.DocteurOrdinateur.ORG to learn about computer system security. For the first 5 years, between 2002 and 2007, I have performed virus and malware extractions without system re-installation. Troubleshoot hardware and driver conflicts. Developed proprietary Windows Messages Spy application in order to capture Messages from other running applications and automate precise responses. Fixing low-cost motherboards and replacing electronic parts such as burned electrolytic capacitors to prevent replacing old motherboards. The goal was also to educate people and ideally transfer my knowledge to people. I developed and served a clientele of 200+ individuals in the Quebec City area. It was great! The people really enjoyed having this service nearly free of charge by a long timer software engineer and senior computer system analyst.

    Nowadays, I teach C++ to a music artist in Montreal. I also provide hardware and software support for SPI CORP's private computer cloud in Montreal.

  • A search for optical flares and flashes with a liquid-mirror telescope

    The Astronomical Journal 02/1989; 97:917-922. · DOI:10.1086/115038

    Abstract

    Two liquid-mirror telescopes with 1.2 and 1 m diameters are used to search for optical phenomena in the sky with timescales less than 2 min. A total of 130 hr of usable data was obtained, but no events were observed. It is concluded that optical flashes and flares are rare events.

  • Observing with liquid mirror telescopes - Evaluation of two observing seasons

    Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific

    Abstract

    A 1.2-m diameter f-4.58 liquid mirror telescope (LMT) has been built on the campus of Laval University and operated every clear night during two months in the summer of 1987. A 1-m diameter f-4.7 LMT was operated during the summer and fall of 1986. Almost 300 hours of data on film were obtained. The quality of the data are evaluated and discussed. The best images have 2 arcsec FWHM, which is compatible with the best seeing expected at a sea-level site. The telescope performed…

A 1-m diameter f-4.7 LMT was operated during the summer and fall of 1986. Almost 300 hours of data on film were obtained. The quality of the data are evaluated and discussed. The best images have 2 arcsec FWHM, which is compatible with the best seeing expected at a sea-level site. The telescope performed quite satisfactorily, especially considering the extreme simplicity of the setup.

In 2021, Poirier provided online services to automate the creation and the entire revision of any given visual artist's portfolio. He founded Fractal Montreal (FM-ORG) to produce very large-scale images derived from artists' artworks.

    Poirier writes software to enable visual artists to fully benefit from print-on-demand businesses and from the crypto art markets. In 2021, Poirier provided online services to automate the creation and the entire revision of any given visual artist's portfolio. He founded Fractal Montreal (FM-ORG) to produce very large-scale images derived from artists' artworks. FM-ORG not only enables each artist's artwork to perfectly fit any given print-on-demand product no matter sizes and proportion, but the artist can optionally modify their artwork's fine and large scales subject geometries, overall textures, as well as local and global color palettes. FM-ORG helps artists produce visually consistent and coherent image series from their unique art. Artists can even get the copyrights as well as the full source code of the algorithms along with complete multi-platform client-server applications. In 2022, Poirier opens new markets to visual artists by fully enabling them. VOROTRANS (V-ORG) and NAKEDSOFT (NS-ORG) were also funded to produce new and unique visual artworks, ambient music, and real-time animations derived from artists' illustrations, paintings, photographs, and audio-video content optionally including artist's audio tracks, sounds, and music extracts. The hundred of software apps Poirier writes sells, and maintains, all exploit the interaction of audio, video, and text information in a minimalist way in order to progressively construct new original and unique digital content completely live in batch/server mode or in interactive/client mode before the artist's ears and eyes exposing all algorithms parameters directly embedded in graphical content's surface. In this interactive mode, the visual artwork becomes the artist's interface.

    Poirier's art really lies in the AI software he has written for the last 3 decades. In 2022, available online as various production services for artists all under AUDIO, VIDEO, and TEXTO SPI website https://SPI.RUN.
