Founder & AI Architect
Alex Chupin
Founder of The Agentic Tribe. Alex leads scoping and architecture on every project: custom business software and AI agent pipelines that run in production.

Background
Alex spent ten years in professional services in Asia and Europe, advising business owners as a financial and tech consultant.
He founded The Agentic Tribe in La Rochelle to design, host and maintain custom business software: ERPs, back-offices and AI agent pipelines. He leads scoping and architecture on every project.
On the software we run, change requests are handled by AI agents, and a human approves every change before it reaches production. Alex also trains teams on generative AI.
