About
25 years of building.
One promise: own the outcome.
I’m Daniel Boissonneault, a software engineer and CTO based in Palm Coast, Florida.
My story
Why I built ThomasDesk.
For 25 years I’ve built software and led technology. 10+ years of that has been in e-commerce, including serving as CTO of an e-commerce company. Over and over, I’ve watched good businesses run on tools nobody owns: vendors who each see one piece, subscriptions that pile up, owners who end up as the IT department after hours.
Big companies solve that with a CTO and a team. Most established businesses can’t justify that hire. So I put it in one monthly price: my leadership, plus an AI office that works around the clock.
ThomasDesk is led by me, backed by a hand-picked team of senior CTOs and your AI office. We only hire the best, I personally review every account, and capacity stays capped so every client gets real attention. I work with businesses anywhere, with in-person visits in Northeast Florida.
Daniel Boissonneault · Virtual CTO“Tell the truth. Take care of people. Own the outcome.”
My faith shapes how I work: with integrity, care and accountability. If something isn’t working, you’ll hear it from me first.
- 10+ years in e-commerce, including serving as CTO of an e-commerce company.
- Recent builds of my own include an AI phone agent (OpenAI, Deepgram and Twilio voice flows), a multi-agent AI fact-checking system, and chain-of-thought tooling for local LLMs.
- I recommend changes only when they save money or reduce risk.
- You own everything I build.
- No juniors. You work with me or a vetted senior CTO I oversee.
