About

I’m a developer at Genovalia, a Université Laval initiative that brings together artificial intelligence, genomics and high-performance computing. I work on the systems that let researchers find, describe and request data: catalogues, metadata APIs, sign-in, and the infrastructure they run on.

Most of my days are Python and TypeScript: FastAPI and Django on the back end, Vue and Nuxt on the front end, Keycloak for identity, all deployed on OpenShift. I like small, boring, well-tested services with good documentation.

At home I run a homelab where I build my own tools: a knowledge vault, an event log, an automation runner and a local LLM service, all wired together and reachable by AI assistants through MCP. I also make games, tinker with microcontrollers, and volunteer for a Québec historical society.
