Built for what’s possible now.
Avern is a technology company in Prince Edward Island. We build software, AI systems, automation, and websites around the way businesses actually work.
Technology is moving fast.
New models, tools, and infrastructure appear constantly. Each wave changes what can be built, how quickly it can be built, and what it should cost.
Most businesses shouldn’t have to keep track of all of that. We do.
Staying close to the frontier.
The best way to solve a problem today can look very different from the best way just a couple of years ago.
We keep evaluating
New technology across AI, software, infrastructure, design, automation, and the web, tested as it arrives.
We adopt what works
If it genuinely improves the result, we use it. If it doesn’t, we leave it alone.
We start with the business
Understand how it works first, know what’s now possible, then bring the two together.

Finlay works across product strategy, design, software development, AI, and automation, taking each project from the first conversation about the problem to a finished system.
He started working deeply with the new generation of AI development tools in early 2025, and has kept building with the newest capabilities as they arrive, in AI and across the wider technology stack.
That became the foundation of Avern: stay close to what’s changing, understand what actually matters, and use it to build better technology for real businesses.
Clients work directly with Finlay from start to finish, so the person who understands the problem is the one making the decisions and doing the build.
Working with Avern founder, Finlay Barrett, was a pleasure. His work was high quality, detailed, efficient, timely, and cost effective. I would engage the services of Avern again for future projects and would strongly recommend him to other organizations seeking IT assistance.
Built in Prince Edward Island.
Avern works with organizations here and beyond. Being on the Island shouldn’t mean waiting years for the best tools. The same capabilities reshaping the world’s leading technology companies are available here, and Avern exists to turn them into practical advantages for businesses closer to home.
