I build digital products that solve real business problems.
I'm based in Montréal. I work with clients across Canada and around the world.
Two decades ago I started in the unglamorous work — deep in data migrations, mapping ERP workflows, translating what the business wanted into what the system could actually do. That foundation never left me.
Since then I've led technology at scale: IT Director; Data Lead at Accenture on SAP implementations for Rio Tinto and Alstom; CRM Manager for the City of Edmonton. Big organizations, complex environments, real stakes.
A few years ago I noticed something. The businesses that needed serious digital products the most were getting burned — by agencies that overpromised, underdelivered, and handed them off to junior developers. So I started akafal.com.
I build web apps, MVPs, and automation systems. I do it fast, because I use AI-assisted development. I do it right, because I've spent two decades learning what ‘right’ actually means in production. And I do it personally — you talk to me, not an account manager.
I'm not trying to be everything to everyone. I take on a limited number of projects at a time, I work closely with the people I build for, and I don't start something I can't finish properly. Right now I'm building and shipping for clients across Canada and beyond, with several engagements in progress.
