[ HEY, I’M ]

David
Boutin.

Full-stack developer.
Curious, from interface to backend.

Since 2018, I’ve developed web and mobile products, their APIs, and their backends. I also write open-source tools and bring AI agents into the way I work.

[ 02 / INSIDE MY WORKSHOP ]

I have agents.
And opinions.

AI is part of how I develop software. I give it context, use it to move forward, and stay critical of the result.

The final call stays human. ↗
/01

Understand.

I start with the product and the existing code. The constraints set the direction.

/02

Build.

I use AI agents to explore ideas, implement, and iterate on the code.

/03

Verify.

I review, test, and decide what goes to production. The responsibility stays with me.

One concrete example: I included a Claude Code plugin in gleam to help with integration.See it in the repository ↗

[ 03 / WORKING TOGETHER ]
