I'm Seb, a software architect and AI strategist based in the Ottawa–Gatineau region. I started in graphic design, moved into software development, and these last few years I've drifted toward systems architecture - figuring out how to actually apply AI to a business, instead of just wrapping an LLM and calling it a strategy.
Most of the actual work isn't code. It's asking why something still exists, saying no to complexity that doesn't need to be there, and making sure the team can still run it after I'm gone.
I've been writing code for over fifteen years, and I still do. If a role needs someone hands-on more than it needs another architecture review, that works for me too.
Outside client work, I make things under Exodd Games - experimental coding projects, 2D art, and video games. I also mess around with local AI models, mostly to see what breaks.
Where I help- 01
Systems Architecture
Backends, integrations, infrastructure - built for what actually happens in production, not what happened in the demo.
- 02
AI Strategy
Figuring out which AI ideas are actually worth building, and telling you when the answer is none of them.
- 03
Technical Leadership
Code reviews, mentoring, and the slow work of getting a team to agree on a direction and stick with it.
- 04
Software Development
Still write code myself. Fifteen years of it, and I don't mind being the one in the editor instead of the one reviewing the pull request.
