Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJean-michel Lemieux is an executive individual contributor and builder with 25+ years of software and systems experience who thrives at the intersection of product, engineering, and real-world systems. He scaled Shopify’s engineering org from 50 to 3,000 and its infrastructure to handle tens of millions of requests per minute, then went on to found and grow startups and a top-100 Canadian restaurant. Equally at home writing the first line of code for a global app used in 130+ countries as he is co-designing a 58-foot performance catamaran, he treats engineering as systems design that spans people, hardware, and operations. His work blends deep technical leadership—from Eclipse and IBM to Atlassian and Shopify—with hands-on product and operational craft in hospitality and maritime ventures. Based in Ottawa, he focuses on small teams of thoughtful people achieving disproportionate impact and often takes unconventional, mission-driven projects that teach resilience and real-world constraints.
