Alan Emtage is a Bajan-Canadian computer scientist who created Archie, the world’s first Internet search engine. It helped users find files on public FTP archives and was created and implemented in 1989, nearly a full decade before Google came onto the scene (that also means it’s as old as me!)
If you find this page through search, you have Emtage and his pioneering work to thank. And I have him to thank for my entire career. So happy birthday and thanks a bunch!
