I translate messy business requirements into shipping software.

I am not just a developer, and I am not just a project manager. I am the bridge between them. I specialize in taking vague stakeholder needs ("We need to work faster") and turning them into concrete, documented technical architectures that actually work.

My background in C# gave me the engineering fundamentals to understand how software thinks, but today I leverage AI, Low-Code (n8n), and Rapid Prototyping to solve problems 10x faster than traditional dev cycles.

My Superpower: Translation & Orchestration. I thrive in the "messy middle." I can sit with non-technical stakeholders to map their painful workflows, then turn around and build the solution (or spec it for developers) without getting lost in translation.

What I Bring to the Team:

• Rapid Prototyping: I use tools like n8n and AI to build functional MVPs in days, validating business logic before committing expensive engineering resources.
• Technical Empathy: I speak "Dev." I understand databases (Supabase), API structures, and logic flow, so I build systems that engineers respect and that scale.
• Strategic Ops: I don't just automate tasks; I re-engineer processes. I spot the bottlenecks that code alone can't fix.
• Adaptability: I am a relentless learner. Whether it's the latest AI Agent framework or a new database standard, I pick it up immediately and apply it to the business context.
• Tech Stack: n8n/make.com, Workflow Orchestration, AI Agents (OpenAI/Anthropic), SQL/Database Design basics, Python (Scripting), REST APIs.

I am looking for a role where I can own the "Solution," not just write the syntax.

Développeur / Tech Lead (5+ years, GFT & clients)

• Led development and debugging of enterprise .NET applications in fast-paced environments.
• Acted as technical lead coordinating with distributed teams (including international teams).
• Solved complex integration and infrastructure issues, including API connectivity, firewalls, and deployment pipelines.
• Known internally as a problem solver able to unblock teams quickly and deliver stable, maintainable solutions.

AI & Automation Builder (2023–2025 – Independent work & portfolio projects)

Built dozens of automation workflows using n8n, Make.com, Airtable, Supabase, and Google Workspace.

• Designed multi-step pipelines connecting forms, CRMs, lead scoring, AI-agents, dashboards, and email systems.
• Created error-resistant automations with retry mechanisms, branching logic, API calls, and data cleaning steps.
• Developed early prototypes of AI-powered tools (chatbots, research agents, YouTube automation, newsletter pipelines).
• Implemented multiple “speed-to-lead” systems: scraping, enrichment, qualification, and AI-drafted outreach.
• Documented workflows, RAG structures, and data handling practices aligned with Québec privacy laws (Loi 25).

Software Engineer (early career & parallel work)

• 5 years of hands-on development experience across scientific programming, backend development, and full-stack tasks.
• Strong grounding in C#, .NET, SQL, JavaScript/React, and API integrations.
• Experience leading and mentoring other developers, supporting production ops, and improving engineering processes.

DEC en Sciences de la Nature – Cégep (Québec)

Strong foundation in mathematics, physics, programming basics, analytical reasoning, and scientific methodology. Proven high academic performance in several advanced STEM courses.

Continuous Technical Learning (self-directed)

• Deep specialization over the past 2 years in automation ecosystems (n8n, Make.com, Airtable, Google Workspace).
• Active learning in AI-assisted workflows, data structuring, and no-code/low-code development.
• Recently began expanding into Looker Studio and dashboarding.
