Résumé

Ian Provencher

AI orchestrator with a supply-chain operator’s depth — production LLM and agentic systems, directed and shipped end to end.

A supply-chain operator who orchestrates AI to build. I ship production software end to end by directing fleets of CLI coding agents and LLM pipelines — Python and TypeScript, React front ends on Cloudflare’s edge, real-time data systems, and cross-platform desktop and mobile apps — designing the system, steering the agents, and holding the review gate that keeps the output correct. Production LLM features, tool-use pipelines, and agent fleets are how the work gets made, not a side interest. Deep operational domain (MRP, BOM, planning, logistics) is the edge that tells me what to build; the velocity is turning a pain point into deployed, owned software fast. I move into an unfamiliar language, framework, or domain quickly and come out the other side with working software.

Experience

Founder & Operator · AppliedIQ Solutions

Remote

A one-person software practice: custom operational tools and full-stack applications, designed and shipped end to end by an operator who has run the floor. Working software people own and use — not slideware.

  • Build and ship full-stack applications end to end — React 19 front ends, Cloudflare Workers + KV back ends, real-time data over server-sent events, and a local-first JSON file-database operations console — from design system to edge deploy.
  • Work across Python (data tooling and automation), TypeScript / JavaScript, and Rust — including a cross-platform desktop-and-mobile PDF suite built on Tauri.
  • Engineer production LLM features: Anthropic tool-use and structured-output pipelines, and streaming assistants that are rate-limited, spend-capped, and adversarially hardened.
  • Orchestrate fleets of CLI coding agents — headless dispatch through an inbox → active → review → done queue with a human review gate enforced in code, plus a nightly scheduled agent that briefs me before I wake.
  • Run zero-trust infrastructure solo — Cloudflare Access, Tunnels, Workers, and DNS over a private Tailscale mesh to a self-hosted server — behind a safe-export firewall that keeps private detail off the public web on every deploy.
  • Prototype on representative, synthetic data by design: the architecture and domain logic are the deliverable, so tools prove out without ever touching a client’s private systems.

Supply Chain Analyst · A global home-appliance manufacturer

2022 – Present

North America

Deep inside end-to-end supply-chain operations — the flow of material through real plants and the systems that run it, from planning and sourcing to production, logistics, warehousing, and engineering.

  • Own the operational mechanics most software is built without ever touching — down to the MRP and BOM logic underneath planning and material constraints.
  • Help shape the strategy, scope, and rollout of AI across the company’s North America region — bringing an operator’s view of where automation actually creates value.
