About me

My name is Martin Coutu and I began developing websites in 1996 on Geocities. Players from the music industry started noticing my work a few years later while I was spending a lot of time developing a website called QuebecPunkScene.net.

During the following two decades, I co-founded 2 successful e-commerce startups specialized in the entertainment industry: Lepointdevente.com and Sumo Industries.

I've got thorough knowledge in backend technologies, frontend programming, database management, web architecture, UX/UI and API design, Open API specification, DevOps and more.
