Etienne Noumen
Technical Lead and Cloud Architect, P.Eng, sports lover by night, entrepreneur all the time.
I have spent 20+ years turning awkward business problems into cloud-native systems that hold up in production - running discovery workshops, building proofs of concept, and showing engineering teams and executives what a tool actually does rather than what the slide claims. At TC Energy I led the build of a real-time aviation safety platform for remote pipeline operations, on Esri’s ArcGIS stack, and I’ve shipped custom web and mobile tools that turn dense operational data into something a senior executive can actually act on. I’m a licensed Professional Engineer in Alberta, which matters more than it sounds: it is the reason the regulatory briefings I publish are signed rather than merely summarised.
Alongside that I host AI Unraveled, a daily rundown of what genuinely happened in AI, run DjamgaMind, a small AI research lab building multi-agent systems for regulated industries, and build study apps under the name Djamgatech - certification prep that works offline, with every answer explained rather than just marked.
I live in Alberta with my family. I am not only a geek - I am also a huge sports fan and a passionate soccer dad who still plays weekly and coaches my kids' soccer teams. I channel that passion into The Black Mambas of Football & Soccer podcast, where I break down world football and the top strikers of the week, and my sports newsletter at Show Up And Play on Substack.
I am a learning animal and a news junkie, and this site is where the reading comes back out: AI, cloud engineering, entrepreneurship, and the beautiful game.
Consulting
I’m taking on a limited number of consulting engagements. Four ways to work with me, from a single enterprise deployment to a month-to-month engineer on your team.
Real-Time Safety Systems for Remote Operations
Enterprise · custom scope
I design and deliver real-time monitoring and safety systems for organizations running remote, safety-critical operations - pipelines, utilities and other regulated infrastructure. The stack is Esri's GIS platform end to end: QuickCapture and Field Maps for field data capture, ArcGIS Online for the live operational picture, and ArcGIS Notebook and ArcGIS Pro for the analysis and automation behind it.
- 2 enterprise deployments delivered
- Invited speaker, 2 Esri conferences in 2026
- Esri stack: QuickCapture · Field Maps · ArcGIS Online · ArcGIS Notebook · ArcGIS Pro
AI Engineer On-Demand
$999/month
Most companies don’t need to hire a team to move fast on AI - they need one engineer who already knows how to. Custom chatbots, workflow automation, internal tools, data pipelines: AI-accelerated delivery at the output of several developers, without the recruiting, onboarding or bench cost of hiring them.
- No recruiting, no onboarding, no full-time hire
- Cancel anytime, month to month
AI Development Tools Training
Custom
I train engineering teams to get real value out of AI coding tools - Claude Code, Kiro, Google Antigravity - not just switch them on. Sessions run against your own codebase, so the team leaves shipping faster instead of having watched a demo.
- Hands-on, run against your own repo
- Tools covered: Claude Code · Kiro · Google Antigravity
Application Development
Custom
I design and ship production apps. The four listed further down this page are live on the App Store right now, built and shipped by me - largely with AI-accelerated development. If you need something built and actually delivered, that catalogue is the proof.
- 4 apps shipped and live on the App Store
