About
I find where businesses lose time or money. Then I build the fix myself.
I'm based in Montréal and work with clients across Canada and internationally, from Québec to the UAE.
Two decades ago I started in the unglamorous work: deep in data migrations, mapping ERP workflows, translating what the business wanted into what the system could actually do. That training never left me. It's where I learned to spot where an organization actually loses time and money.
Since then I've led technology at scale: IT Director; Data Lead at Accenture on SAP implementations for Rio Tinto and Alstom; CRM Manager for the City of Edmonton. Big organizations, complex environments, real stakes.
A few years ago I noticed something. The businesses that needed serious software the most were getting burned by agencies that overpromised, underdelivered, and handed the work to junior developers. So I started akafal.com to be the opposite of that.
The work always starts with the problem: where the hours go, where the money leaks, what's actually worth building. Then I build the fix myself. Fast, because I use AI-assisted development. Right, because I've spent twenty years learning what right means in production. And you talk to me, not an account manager.
I'm not trying to be everything to everyone. I take on a limited number of projects at a time, I work closely with the people I build for, and I don't start something I can't finish properly. Right now I'm building and shipping for clients across Canada and beyond, with several engagements in progress.

Twenty years inside
These were roles and engagements inside those organisations, not Akafal clients. It is where the training came from, and it is why I can walk into an operation and know what I am looking at.
If you're working on something worth building, or trying to figure out whether to build it at all, let's talk.
Book thirty minutes. We pressure-test it together and you leave knowing whether it is worth doing, roughly what it takes, and whether I am the right person to do it. If I am not, I will tell you who is.
