Fred Vézina
Software architect in Quebec City and founder of APIgoat, a solo solutions consultancy. One contract, one architect, one accountable point of contact.
01 Who I am
I have been shipping software for more than twenty years, across fourteen industries. APIgoat is my consultancy and my product brand: I design the system, build it, host it and answer for it. When a project needs a specialist, I bring them in and run the room.
I work in English and French, remotely, from Quebec City (Eastern Time).
02 What I build
- API design and integration — the contracts between your systems, documented and versioned.
- Enterprise integration: ERP, CRM and core platforms talking to each other — accounting and production, sales and inventory, quoting and invoicing, e-commerce and fulfilment.
- Custom CRMs, ERPs, internal tools and customer portals built around the way a company actually works.
- AI assistants wired into those same systems: retrieval over private documents, agents on rails, MCP servers that give an assistant the same permissions as the team.
- High-availability hosting for what I build, with a 99.99 % target SLA.
03 Products
Tools that came out of client work: Smarties, an AI agent orchestrator for Quebec SMEs; apiConstruct, a construction and roofing estimator; APIchatbot, a chatbot platform that answers only from your own documents; GoatCheese, the schema-driven build engine behind every APIgoat application; apigtbot, an open-source crypto trading bot; Lumio, a voice language tutor for children; BillBoy, open-source invoicing and bookkeeping; CryptoBBoy, a crypto portfolio tracker; and Vidifye, free video classifieds.
04 How I work
Pragmatic, documented, debuggable. I prefer technology that will still be around in five years — modern enough to be productive, mature enough to be quiet at 3 am. Boring tools, sharp choices.
