Complex engineering problems, solved end-to-end.
From embedded firmware to full-stack SaaS — built and shipped by a PhD consultant with 15+ years of hands-on experience.
PhD in Physics — President, Innovation Codotek
Holding a PhD in Physics (Nanophotonics) from Universite Laval and an Alexander Graham Bell scholarship (NSERC), I bring over 15 years of technical development experience spanning the full stack: advanced algorithms, embedded systems, FPGA, electronic design, full-stack software and SaaS applications. As founder of Innovation Codotek inc., I have delivered complete solutions autonomously for clients including ABB, Bliq Photonics, Telops, LR Tech and Volthium — from concept to production. My 8 scientific publications in nano- and biophotonics reflect the analytical rigor I apply to real-world engineering projects.
An avid trail runner and outdoor enthusiast, I find in nature the same satisfaction as in solving complex technical problems: perseverance, strategy and pushing beyond limits. This energy fuels my daily work.
Cutting-edge technical solutions covering the full development chain, from embedded electronics to SaaS software.
Concrete projects delivered for demanding clients — from deeptech startups to large industrial corporations.
Volthium managed a fleet of 300+ lithium-ion batteries requiring production tests — including destructive tests — across CAN, UART, Ethernet, and Bluetooth simultaneously. Paul designed the complete microservice architecture (emulator, protocol adapters, regression engine), the SmartBridge embedded firmware, and debugged reprogramming issues with a proprietary Chinese chip. Reproducible production pipeline that automatically catches regressions as new hardware is added.
High-performance multi-photon microscope requiring real-time FPGA image reconstruction from a spinning polygon scanner and galvo mirror — one of the most complex FPGA architectures in scientific imaging. Custom PCB design, Zynq SoC programming (FPGA + ARM), high-speed DAC, and simultaneous acquisition via USB 3.0 and Camera Link for a medical device.
ABB needed to push the precision limits of industrial pollutant detection using FTIR spectroscopy. Paul developed advanced signal processing algorithms to extend detection accuracy, along with production software integrated into ABB's industrial infrastructure — a project that highlighted the decisive advantages of microservice architecture for multi-protocol industrial systems.
Telops needed to continuously calibrate their precision infrared spectrometers across large production data volumes without bottlenecks. Paul built a high-throughput Python pipeline using Ray (distributed computation) and async code to meet production throughput requirements. Continuous calibration maintained at full production speed.
Personal entrepreneurial project: solo development of masemaine.ca, a SaaS platform enabling families to plan weekly meals by matching recipes to current grocery promotions via LLM APIs. From concept to live production — architecture, development, and deployment managed by a single developer.
Complete Flutter (Android & iOS) mobile application to support rehabilitation for people suffering from tendinopathy. Full user flow with personalized progress tracking, guided rehabilitation protocols, and clinical metrics tracking over time. Built end-to-end by Paul — from UX design to multi-platform deployment.
Partnerships built on trust and measurable results.
We are very happy with our collaboration with Innovation Codotek on our electronics and embedded programming projects. They were able to quickly take ownership of complex projects and move them forward efficiently and autonomously, while keeping us constantly in the loop to confirm everything met our expectations throughout the process. We greatly benefited from their expertise in electronics and programming to improve our products and anticipate potential issues from the design stage.
Bliq Photonics
Bliq Photonics — Modular Microscopy Solutions
Paul's expertise in physics and scientific instrumentation is remarkable. He quickly grasped our specific needs in dosimetry and delivered highly precise signal processing algorithms that are essential to our medical device.
Medscint
Lead Engineer, Medscint
Paul developed exceptionally high-quality FTIR and radar analysis algorithms that were successfully integrated into our Industry 4.0 infrastructure. His ability to combine scientific rigor with industrial pragmatism is a valuable asset.
ABB
Project Manager, ABB
We brought Paul in for a demanding embedded electronics project and he delivered a robust, well-documented solution. His versatility — from PCB design to firmware programming — saved us from engaging multiple contractors.
LR Tech
President, LR Tech
Paul designed the complete firmware architecture for our battery ecosystem with impressive command of communication protocols and real-time constraints. His technical rigor and ability to deliver autonomously was exactly what we needed.
Volthium
R&D Manager, Volthium
