Full-Stack Developer & AI Engineer — 2026
Software, AI and cloud serving real-world operations.
Full-Stack Developer specializing in automation, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation. I currently work as a Digital Innovation Specialist at Gagnon Frères, where I design technological solutions to automate operations, improve decision-making, and modernize the company's internal tools.
My expertise covers modern web development, cloud infrastructure, business-applied artificial intelligence, and process automation. I work on application development, system integration, cloud administration, and infrastructure optimization. On a daily basis, I develop with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python, and Node.js, while working with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Power Platform, Azure, Cloudflare, and DigitalOcean environments.
Passionate about innovation, I am particularly interested in artificial intelligence and AI agents, Machine Learning and data analysis, business process automation, SaaS development, cloud architecture and DevOps, as well as system observability and performance. Through my company Synaptia Web, I also create custom web projects, e-commerce platforms, and AI integrations for organizations looking to accelerate their digital growth.
