Team
Senior-led delivery, with trusted specialists when needed.
We own outcomes and keep scope honest.
Operating across Canada and Europe. Working with teams globally.
How the team works
Every engagement is led end-to-end by Léo Audibert, who owns technical direction, delivery, and outcomes.
When needed, we bring in trusted senior specialists we've worked with before, never junior staff and never as a handoff.

Senior Specialists (Engagement-Based)
These specialists are brought in selectively when the scope requires their expertise.
Sahil Asthana
Legal & Strategy · AI Governance
Bridges engineering decisions with legal and regulatory clarity. Sahil ensures AI and data-heavy systems are designed with compliance, privacy, and long-term business risk in mind.
Martin Kuerbis
Backend · Systems & Simplicity
Focuses on building durable backend systems without unnecessary complexity. Martin helps teams avoid over-engineering while keeping performance, reliability, and maintainability high.
Christa Klingensmith
Product · Scope & Outcomes
Ensures teams build the right thing before building more things. Christa works closely with clients to clarify requirements, surface tradeoffs, and translate business goals into shippable product scope.
John Buonassissi
Backend · Reliability & Scale
Designs systems that operate quietly and reliably in production. John focuses on stability, data integrity, and growth without surprises as products scale.
Ben Kiddie
AI/ML · Model-to-Production
ML engineer with 10+ years building production AI systems end to end. Ben designs, trains, and deploys models with a strong focus on inference reliability, performance, and real-world constraints.
We keep our delivery model intentionally small and senior. Specialists are added only when they materially improve outcomes, never to pad headcount or reduce rates.
GooseBytes was founded to do senior engineering work without agency overhead.
