André Despouys

Product-minded full-stack developer, AI-augmented. I take fuzzy ideas and turn them into web apps, dashboards and automations that teams actually use.

TypeScript-first. Founder of Gainzzoo. I work across product, frontend, backend and deployment — and I keep human judgment on top of every AI shortcut.

I don't just build screens. I help clarify the need, shape the first usable version, and ship something people actually use — then iterate.

What I build

Four things you can hire me for

Most teams don't need a grand transformation. They need useful tools that save time and make work clearer.

Web apps & MVPs

From idea to a first usable product: scope, product logic, frontend, backend, database, auth and deployment.

Dashboards & back-offices

So teams manage clients, content and operations without spreadsheets everywhere. Search, roles, reporting, light analytics.

Automations & internal tools

Cut repetitive work: forms to databases, client onboarding, follow-ups, document generation, notifications, data sync.

AI-assisted workflow audit

I map a workflow and find where AI or automation saves time — without putting data, client trust or quality at risk.

Proof of work

Gainzzoo — built idea to production

My own fitness product: a coaching platform built around the coach–athlete relationship. I handle product decisions, frontend, backend, database, deployment and iteration — solo.

It's the proof I think beyond tickets: real users, product trade-offs, delivery speed, bugs, maintainability and long-term direction.

About me

A bit more about me

I was born in Mexico City and grew up just outside it, closer to the countryside. My whole family is Mexican, except my dad — he's French, though he never spoke French to us growing up.

I finished high school in 2019 and decided to take a chance: travel, learn the language my dad never taught me, and figure out the rest along the way. My brother and I came to France together. First we learned French, then we worked, then we earned our place to study here. I taught myself web development during that time, and that turned into a career.

Outside of work I play beach volleyball, travel when I can, and post fitness content and Mexican music online. Gainzzoo connects to that too — coaching and training are things I actually live, not just build software for.

How I work with AI

AI to move faster — judgment stays human

I use AI as a working layer, not a crutch. The architecture, the testing, the security and the final call stay with me.

Accelerate

Research, technical planning, prototyping, documentation and debugging — faster, with structure.

Control

No blind copy-paste. Human code review, testing and security awareness on everything that ships.

Own

I set intent, define quality, decide trade-offs and stay responsible for the outcome.
