Hello!

Lead Product Designer and Product Manager building AI-native tools for the construction world. Previously at Red Hat and AWS. Collector of nerdy things...forever.

Adam Jolicoeur is a designer, developer, and product manager in Massachusetts. Starting as a help desk tech, he discovered a desire to create technology rather than fix it, which led to a leap into software engineering.

While working at a small startup, Adam discovered user experience design and realized his future was before him. With a background in fine arts and knowledge of the software development space (Backbone/Angular, anyone?), he became the first UX designer at a financial startup, leading the next generation of product design for card processors and financial institutions.

At Red Hat (later acquired by IBM), Adam worked with industry experts and the open source community on enterprise software experiences, including as a core contributor to PatternFly. He then joined a small team in AWS's Safety Engineering group to build Task-it, a new issue tracking and management product that grew to 500 daily active users across more than 15 teams.

Today, Adam is the Lead Product Designer and Product Manager at Component Assembly Systems. He designs and builds AI products for construction teams, including CASim, an AI project management assistant built on MCP, and ArchParser, an OCR-based tool for plan management. He works in Claude Code every day, shipping working prototypes alongside the design system that keeps them consistent. Outside of work, he builds local-first apps under Brimfield Labs.
