Full-Stack Developer, Algorithmic Trader and Entrepreneur.

Hi, I’m Jean-Maurice — a full-stack developer, algorithmic trader, and entrepreneur based in Quebec City. I’m the founder of PineBlocks, a visual tool that empowers traders without coding experience to turn their ideas into fully functional TradingView scripts.

I Built My Own Algorithmic Trading Research Engine

I didn’t get into coding through a bootcamp or a CS degree. I got into it because I wanted to trade better. Like many traders-turned-devs, I bounced between platforms looking for the right setup for backtesting and strategy research. Some tools were decent, but none gave me the freedom or flexibility I wanted — too many constraints, too little control, or just not built for scale. Eventually, I hit a wall. So I took a sabbatical and built my own.
