01 — Services
Four ways to work together, one standard: it has to hold up in production two years from now.
Autonomous agent systems: model orchestration, tooling, guardrails, evaluation and costs that stay put. This is where we go furthest.
Learn moreWeb and mobile products designed and built to carry real load — not demo load.
Learn moreTechnical choices, service boundaries, debt and risk: a decision that is documented, costed and reversible.
Learn moreTaking over an existing system without a big bang: replace it in slices, in production, with tests.
Learn more02 — Approach
You always know what is done, what is left and what it costs. No surprise reports, no steering committee discovering the state of the project at delivery.
One week, one document: the problem, the constraints, and what we will not do.
The structural decisions are written down before the first line of code.
Usable slices every two weeks, in production from the first one.
Observability, alerts, runbooks. We stay until your team is autonomous.
03 — Work
Two products in production, three in the works. All designed, shipped and operated by methodox.
Our in-house agent orchestrator: several coding agents work in parallel on the same repository, each in its own lane, with controlled review and merge. The foundation that lets methodox ship faster.
Quebec sports media: news, rumours and live discussion. Rust (axum) and PostgreSQL API, Angular web app, Expo mobile app, fully containerised.
Tennis match tracking and analysis for players, parents and coaches, with AI assistance. Expo app, marketing site and API in production.
A new product currently in design. Details are coming — early access on request.
Neighbourhood news and community, local services and a used-goods marketplace: one platform for the world around the corner.
04 — About
methodox inc. is the firm of Jean-François Ménard, a developer for more than thirty years. Thirty years spent on the delivery side: code, product management, leading teams.
Developer, then architect, then scrum master, then dev manager — at Hydro-Québec, Banque Nationale, Cogeco and UKG. Today methodox puts that experience to work on short, tightly scoped engagements, delivered by the person who designed them.
The house specialty is agent-based development: systems where autonomous agents do part of the work, with guardrails, measurable evaluation and a bill that does not drift. The rest — applications, architecture, modernisation — is the day job.
“Shipping fast starts with deciding clearly.”
