NOEL DESMARAIS

I’m an endlessly curious and adaptable engineer, passionate about building practical AI solutions that empower both developers and end users. My journey began with a solid foundation in Computer Science & Information Systems from the University of Vermont, where I first discovered the thrill of problem solving and the power of code.

My early programming experience spanned C++, Java, and Python. As an Advanced Programming Teaching Assistant, I deepened my understanding by helping others master complex data structures and algorithms. This not only sharpened my technical skills but also taught me how to communicate intricate concepts clearly, a skill that’s proven invaluable as AI continues to evolve.

My fascination with AI started in an evolutionary robotics course, where I built a simulated robot that learned to navigate obstacles through evolutionary algorithms. That project sparked a lasting interest in artificial intelligence and motivated me to keep finding new ways to apply AI to real-world challenges.

After college, I honed my full-stack engineering skills at Trinnex, leading data-driven projects for enterprise clients and working closely with UX and Product teams to deliver user-focused solutions. My passion for AI led me to collaborate with data scientists and pursue advanced coursework, deepening my expertise in machine learning and intelligent systems.

Today, I am a Software Engineer at Maven AGI, focused on AI Developer Experience. Here, I build intuitive tools and platforms that make it easy for anyone, technical or not, to harness the power of AI. My work bridges the gap between cutting-edge language models and seamless developer experiences, enabling rapid integration and innovation across enterprise environments. I enjoy the challenge of hiding AI complexity behind elegant interfaces and get energy from collaborating with talented teams to push the boundaries of what’s possible in applied AI.

Outside of work, I love tackling personal projects that blend creativity and technology, from designing IoT-based environmental monitors to developing high-performance C++ libraries. I am particularly fascinated by the evolving role of software engineers as AI transforms our industry, and I am committed to lifelong learning as both a personal philosophy and a professional necessity.

I’m always eager to connect with others who share a passion for AI, developer experience, and building impactful solutions. If you’re interested in my work, feel free to explore my projects below.
