FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you work remotely?

Yes. Most of our engagements are fully remote, anywhere in Quebec. On-site meetings can be arranged when needed.

Do you take on small projects?

Absolutely. From a local shop's website to a public utility's Big Data platform, every project gets the same rigour.

How does pricing work?

It depends on the engagement: hourly rate, fixed-price package or a bank of hours. You always receive a clear proposal before committing — no surprises.

Which technologies do you master?

Azure, GCP, Databricks, Spark, Kafka, Power BI, Kubernetes, Terraform, C#/.NET, Python, and more. We always recommend the simplest tool that truly fits the need.

How quickly can you start?

We reply within one business day, and an engagement typically starts within one to three weeks depending on scope.

Do you offer training and mentoring?

Yes — code reviews, team coaching and knowledge transfer are part of every engagement, or can be an engagement of their own.

Are you available outside business hours?

Yes. We adapt to your schedule: evening or weekend meetings, whatever suits you — handy when your own days are already full.
