Entrepreneur & Author

Montréal, QC · admin@viraltech.ca · @LouisDavidPH

Self-taught builder. I've never had a normal job — every dollar I've made came from things I built. First business at 17, first acquisition at Viral Tech, six books along the way. I go from idea to shipped product fast, and I do it end to end: design, code, growth.
