I make things with AI

I’m Victor, a product builder in Québec, Canada. I spent years as a software engineer in fintech. Now AI writes the code, and I bring the judgment and taste: what to build, and when it’s ready.

How I work

New AI models come out almost every week, and each one writes better code than the last. That makes judgment the valuable part: deciding what to build, how it fits together, and making sure it’s right before it ships.

Small on purpose
Only what the problem needs. No accounts or servers unless the product can’t work without them.
Checked before it ships
AI code can look right and still be wrong. I check it with tests, previews and real use before it ships.
Secure by default
Nothing is collected or exposed unless the product needs it.
Built to hold up
Scaling is built in from the start. Right now I build on Cloudflare: it scales on its own, and its agent tooling, like the cf CLI, lets AI work with it directly.

  1. Spot a problem

    Something in my own week that bugs me more than once.

  2. Picture the fix

    The smallest version that would solve it, before any code.

  3. Work out the architecture with AI

    We go back and forth on the options. I decide what it needs and what it doesn’t.

  4. AI builds, I watch the setup

    What can fail, who can reach it, and what to keep an eye on once it runs.

  5. Ship in one step

    One command runs the tests, swaps in the new release and checks the site is live.

  6. Use it, adjust, ship again

    Real use decides what changes next.

I race the same way I build

My training is systematic: follow the plan, measure every session, review every race. Small fixes add up over the years.

Software gets the same loop: ship something small, see how it’s used, fix what matters most, ship again.
