Make the Future - Ottawa’s Tech Podcast
Technology
In this third episode, we chat with Andre Richards, a class of 2011 alumnus, who is the Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder at MicroMetrics and Melody Habbouche, a computer science co-op student who is currently working at Klipfolio.
We discuss startups in the National Capital Region, the importance of creativity as we aim to Make the Future and I also hope to offer you a glimpse into the role that the uOttawa community is playing in the thriving tech and innovation sector.
