Services

What I can help with

Hands-on work, from the first pipeline to the dashboard your team opens every morning. Every engagement ends with documentation and a handoff, so you're never dependent on me.

Data platform & warehouse

The problem

Your data is scattered across apps, spreadsheets and exports, and every report starts with copy-paste.

What you get

  • A central warehouse (BigQuery or Snowflake)
  • Automated pipelines from your tools
  • Tested, documented data models in dbt

Analytics & dashboards

The problem

Teams argue about whose numbers are right, and nobody trusts the dashboards enough to act on them.

What you get

  • Clear KPI definitions everyone agrees on
  • A semantic layer so metrics mean the same thing everywhere
  • Dashboards in Looker or Looker Studio

AI & LLM integration

The problem

You want to use AI on your own data, but demos don't survive contact with real questions, costs or security.

What you get

  • Assistants grounded in your documents and data (RAG)
  • Natural-language questions over your warehouse
  • Monitoring of quality, usage and cost

Audits & migrations

The problem

Your stack grew piece by piece, costs are creeping up, or a forced migration (like GA4) is looming.

What you get

  • A written audit with prioritized recommendations
  • Migration plan and execution with no data loss
  • Cleanup of unused tools and costs

Tools I work with

  • BigQuery
  • Snowflake
  • dbt
  • Airflow
  • Looker
  • Looker Studio
  • GA4
  • Python
  • GCP
  • AWS
  • Terraform
  • LangChain
  • Langfuse
  • Vertex AI

Approach

How we'll work together

No two businesses start from the same place. Before recommending anything, I take the time to understand your needs, your current tools, your team's resources and its comfort with data. Scope and timelines come from that, not from a template.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    A free 30-minute conversation about your goals, your current setup and what success looks like. No commitment.

  2. 02

    Audit & proposal

    I look at your data, tools and workflows, and at who will use the result day to day. Then I send a written proposal with a scope, timeline and price fitted to your situation.

  3. 03

    Build

    Work happens in short iterations with regular check-ins, so you see progress early and can steer.

  4. 04

    Handoff & support

    Documentation and training for your team, plus optional ongoing support once the work is live.

Engagement

Flexible ways to work together

Fixed-scope project

A clearly defined deliverable, timeline and price agreed up front.

Best for: new platforms, migrations, audits

Monthly retainer

A reserved block of time each month for ongoing improvements and support.

Best for: teams without an in-house data engineer

Hourly advisory

Expert input when you need it: architecture reviews, hiring help, second opinions.

Best for: teams that build in-house and want guidance

Work

Selected work

A global powersports manufacturer

Dealer-network analytics platform

Challenge
Complex SAP rebate and incentive workflows made it hard to give the global dealer network timely, reliable performance insights.
Solution
Led the data engineering: broke the SAP logic down into a layered (medallion) architecture in Snowflake, with dbt models tracking history and Terraform-managed infrastructure.
Result
Every milestone delivered within the original project timeline on a fixed-term engagement.
  • Snowflake
  • dbt
  • Terraform
  • SAP

An influencer marketing agency

Internal AI assistant for a CEO's team

Challenge
All the know-how on billing, contracts and day-to-day processes lived with the CEO, so the team came to her with every question, and she became a bottleneck.
Solution
Designed and built an AI assistant grounded in the agency's own documents and procedures, so employees could ask questions in plain language and get answers consistent with how the CEO would respond.
Result
Adopted by the whole team, significantly reducing the CEO's workload and the turnaround time on everyday tasks.

About

Hi, I'm Renaud

Portrait of Renaud Beaupré

I've spent 10+ years in data, moving from analyst to data scientist to data engineer. That path means I build systems with the people who use the numbers in mind, not just the people who maintain the pipelines.

I've worked with startups and large companies across e-commerce, retail and manufacturing, and more recently on bringing AI into data workflows in ways that hold up in production.

I'm based in Montréal and work in French and English.
