Alain Tougas has a background in special education. He worked for LCSI for almost 20 years since 1982, so he's has been through all the important "mutations" of Logo, from the "original flavors" to LogoWriter and then to MicroWorlds, in different languages and on different platforms. His duties spanned from technical writing to technical support, including software design, translations, field testing, workshops and trainings. He is currently part of the project management team responsible for software specifications and development activities. His preferred "obsession" consists of trying to maintain the usage of software at an appropriate level for students and teachers.
