About
One atelier. One founder. One verifiable promise.
NOKARIS is an e-commerce engineering atelier. Not an agency-factory with 50 juniors and 5 project managers. Not a slide consultancy talking about "digital transformation".
A senior founder who codes himself, ships himself, and signs the result with a money-back guarantee.
The founder
Sergio Nokam
Senior fullstack architect, 10+ years building e-commerce stacks and SaaS platforms for growth-stage brands. At the intersection of three rare competencies: headless commerce (Hydrogen, commercetools, MACH), applied AI in production (semantic search, RAG, agents, ops automation), and obsessive web performance (Core Web Vitals, perf budgets, observability).
Based in Gatineau, 30 minutes from Ottawa, I serve North American DTC brands in both French and English. My strategic edge isn't team size — it's the absence of intermediaries. You talk directly to the person who codes, ships, and signs the work.

The atelier
Three non-negotiable principles.
Senior by default.
No junior team on your project. I code, I ship, I sign. If a senior freelancer joins, they're named in the proposal — never hidden in execution.
Productized.
Fixed prices, displayed publicly on the site. Money-back guarantee on ENTRY and PROOF tiers. No hourly billing. No vague quotes. If the promise isn't kept, I refund.
Bilingual.
FR-CA and EN-CA shipped together, from day one. No French-only pages in production (except Tremplin Subventions, which specifically targets Quebec subsidy programs).
Location
Built in Gatineau. Serving North America.
Based in Gatineau, on the Quebec-Ontario border. Direct access to the Ottawa tech ecosystem (Shopify HQ, Klipfolio, Solace, Wealthsimple) and the Montreal DTC scene in under 2 hours by car. Native FR / EN bilingual.
Phase 1: DTC brands in Quebec and Anglo Canada. Phase 2: Toronto, Vancouver, US Northeast. Phase 3: Montreal–Toronto–New York corridor.
