From Industrial Rigor
to Operational Intelligence.
A senior developer's studio. I build products — and take a few mandates a year: mobile apps, systems, and AI for SMBs, in French or English.
Automation. AI adoption. Technical oversight. From Sherbrooke, for teams working across markets, languages, and tools.
Rooted &
World-Minded.
Est. Sherbrooke • Global mandates
We are not a slideware consultancy. We are a digital architecture firm built in Sherbrooke for teams operating beyond their local market.
The name Fleming Wilde evokes the industrial heritage of the Townships—an era when things were built to last. Today, we apply that same rigor to digital infrastructure that can travel, scale, and survive real operations.
When tools sprawl, workflows stall, and AI becomes theatre, we take the operational path: Execution that compounds.
Automation
Manual workflows mapped, simplified, and shipped.
Pragmatism
No jargon. Solutions that generate profit.
Bilingual Bridge
Cross-border delivery for teams that move between languages, vendors, and markets.
Ian Vasquez
Founder · Senior Developer
Fleming Wilde is me: Ian Vasquez, senior developer — nine years building and repairing mobile and software systems, and leading teams of up to ten developers, for clients here, in Australia, and in Europe. Based in Sherbrooke, working in French and English.
The studio is deliberately solo: I build my own products and take a few mandates a year. When you call, the person who answers is the person who does the work — no account manager, no junior billed at senior rates, no theatre.
Engagement Structure
OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY.
CONTRACTUAL RIGOR.
The "Fixer"
Immediate resolution of critical blockers. System outages, broken workflows, failed automation, or security audits before acquisition. We put out the fire.
Interim CIO
Monthly supervision of your infrastructure. We manage vendors, validate technology budgets, and give leadership a clear operating view across markets.
Project Management
Piloting complex digital worksites. We orchestrate specialists, vendors, and internal teams so delivery stays usable across functions and geographies.
Mandates delivered, not promises.
Mobile, AI, automation, team leadership — a sample of real mandates, from Québec to Australia. "In-house" marks the salaried years.
Service axes
Representative work
Delivery through acquisition
Led mobile development of an AI-powered pilot-training tool — the startup was later acquired by a German group for $5M CAD.
Ten developers, one B2B SaaS
Led a team of ten — five front-end, five back-end — on a client's B2B SaaS: agile cadence, mentoring, continuous delivery.
Public-sector traceability
Geo-tracking mobile app delivered to Québec's Ministry of the Environment: every soil haul logged to get paid — verifiable deliveries, no paperwork.
Chatbot for an Australian client
Conversational AI assistant designed and delivered for an Australian company — a mandate run entirely remotely, in English.
Game studio, Liechtenstein
Mobile app development for a Liechtenstein games company — cross-border delivery, across time zones and languages.
Automation that pays
In-house employee work: cart reminders and optimized queries on an e-commerce platform — revenue up 5%, search 10% faster.

Common questions
How much does it cost?
The diagnostic is fixed-price: $1,500. Interventions are quoted before work starts — typically $3,000–$8,000. Monthly oversight (interim CIO) starts at $2,500/month. No work begins without a written, accepted price.
How long does it take?
Diagnostic: 5 business days. Interventions: quoted in the plan, most run 2–6 weeks. Urgent issues: first call often same-day.
Do you work with companies our size?
SMBs of 5–100 employees — SaaS, studios, manufacturing, professional services, multi-vendor operations. If your problem is beyond my scope, I say so on the first call.
Will we have to change our tools?
Rarely. The first option is always making what you have work better. Replacing a tool is a last-resort recommendation, costed and justified.
On-site or remote?
Both. On-site in Estrie and Montreal at no travel cost; remote anywhere — most recent mandates came from outside the country.
What's your availability?
The studio builds its own products and takes a few mandates a year, chosen carefully. That's exactly what the 15-minute call is for: finding out quickly whether your project will be one of them.
What if the diagnostic finds nothing useful?
Then you learn that in one week for $1,500, with a document that stops you spending $20,000 in the wrong place. That's the cheapest outcome available.
