Martin Dufour is the Chief Technology Officer at Audiokinetic. After a few years of hacking as part of the local Montreal BBS scene, he started his professional programming career while in high school. He worked at Softimage/Avid on the DS non-linear editing and visual effects system from 1998 until old colleagues convinced him to join a game audio middleware startup in 2004. Audiokinetic turned out to be a perfect match for his interests in sound, video games, and software development.
