hobbies

sewing, especially myog-style projects
camping, ask me how to set up a tarp and I'll talk your ear off
currently working on folding 1000 paper cranes (as of mid-April 2025, I'm at 800 complete)
arduino projects when the inspiration strikes me
other various crafts and projects, my most recent being papier-maché eyeball helmets (à la The Residents). I recently got my hands on some retired payphone parts, which I plan to make into... something. Check back later.

administrivia

most excited about working for early-stage startups
happiest when I am doing true full-stack work - I don't want to be siloed
currently located in Sherbrooke, Quebec (mon français n'est pas parfait, mais j'apprends !)
authorized to work in the US and Canada
open to working remotely for Canadian companies (full-time) or American companies (full-time via an employer of record preferably, or as a contractor for the right opportunity)
