About Brad Pineau

Brad Pineau

25 years of engineering. Now all in on agentic AI.

I'm a software engineer in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, with 25 years of experience across the full spectrum of product development. Pineau Labs is my independent software company: fixed-price sprints that take ideas to working prototypes, prototypes to MVPs, and existing products safely into the AI era.

Over my career I've built HIPAA-grade medical software for more than a decade, led engineering teams as CTO, acquired and scaled a technology company, and shipped products used by thousands. I hold 4 patents in software engineering.

Now I use Claude Code and Codex every day. Not as experiments, but as core production tools. I built Fitly AI with them: an AI-native product where one agent runs a user's whole fitness life. That hands-on experience is what I bring to every engagement.

"Brad helped develop quite a few projects, from coding to app and web development, and can pretty much build anything that's possible to build. I've known Brad for more than 15 years, and he's one of the most skilled and reliable people I know. Brad delivered many projects for me with flying colors."
