INTRODUCING

GHISLAIN HACHEY

Welcome to my "at-a-glance" professional and personal website. I'm from Canada but I have been living and working in the Pacific for over 20 years. I have been self employed for more than 10 years. I love technology, nature and adventure. I like to exercise, eat well and generally try to take care of myself. I love sciences and mathematics and wish I had more time for both. I love good typography and LaTeX, and I hate word processors. My most recent endeadours are working on my business (www.purltek.com) and supporting the Pacific EMIS project (www.pacific-emis.org)
