Alexandre Lessard · Systems integration consultant in Quebec

When your projectdoesn't fit any mold,that's where I come in.

I get the call when a company's systems don't talk to each other, when a critical platform has to evolve and nobody knows how it was built, when an old machine has to work with modern tools, or when the solution doesn't exist on the market. A more standard need? Same rigor, no needless complexity.

10+ years in IT · From scoping to production

No commitment. We clarify your need and see if I'm really the right fit.

Problems that spanned several worlds at once, solved all the way to production. Clients are presented without their names, for discretion.

Takeover and modernization

Services

Systems integration and automation

When your systems were chosen one at a time and none of them talk to each other: I make them work together, reliably and with documentation.

  • Software, ERPs, databases and APIs connected together
  • Reports pulled directly from your management systems
  • Integration of partners and external services
  • Applied AI, hosted on your premises when your data can't leave

Infrastructure, takeover and modernization

When a critical platform has to evolve and nobody knows how it was built anymore: I take it over and keep it evolving, while in full operation.

  • Takeover of existing systems, even without documentation or source code
  • Server and infrastructure upgrades while in full operation
  • Backups and disaster recovery, with restore tests when needed
  • Hosting and deployment

Custom platforms and applications

When the solution doesn't exist on the market: I design it and bring it to production, from scoping to launch.

  • Online platforms (SaaS) and client portals
  • Business applications built around how you work
  • New features on an existing platform
  • A more standard need? Same rigor, no needless complexity

Local AI lab

A 2014 data center GPU brought back into service for recent language models

Underused machines on my network, including a Tesla K80 abandoned by modern tooling. The goal: private AI, off the cloud, with hardware already on hand.

Components compiled below the usual tooling, four machines assigned by their strengths, every optimization measured before being kept.

Models of 27 to 35 billion parameters served locally, transcription 24 times faster than real time. A personal lab, documented in a case study.

Testimonials

I had built my website myself on GoDaddy and tried Google Ads, but it wasn't working — I was spending money for nothing. Alexandre rebuilt everything from scratch: a professional site, well ranked on Google, and set up so my ads actually convert. Now when someone clicks my ad, they land on something solid and it shows. I'm getting real calls.
