About

I'm Raphaël, a Computer Science student in the Honors College at Northeastern University, Class of 2029. I care about building software that's both well-crafted and genuinely useful from interactive tools and editors to web applications used by real teams.

I'm a dual US-French citizen, raised between Tokyo, London, New York and the French education system, which gave me a deep appreciation for both rigorous thinking and creative problem-solving. Outside of code, I spend my time traveling, hiking, running, playing chess, video games, and exploring through a camera lens.

I'm currently building Signal Relay, an interactive digital logic circuit simulator in Godot, and working as a web developer for Northeastern Electric Racing.
