// Product Manager & Game Designer

Fred
St-Amour.

@stamouf  —  Montreal, QC

I make things that work and things that are fun -- sometimes both at once. Decades of product management, a whole lot of game design, and just enough web dev to be dangerous.

The person
behind the work.

I'm a product manager who never stopped being a builder. My career has been a deliberate collision of systems thinking and creative design -- whether that's shipping a product roadmap, designing game mechanics, or wrangling a legacy ColdFusion codebase at 2am.

Game design taught me that constraints are gifts. Product management taught me that users are never wrong, just surprising. Web development taught me that everything is held together with duct tape, and that's okay.

I care about things that are actually used, actually fun, and actually finished.
