Projects
Things I build, run, photograph, and raise: apps, a cabin, and two boys.
CastorOS
SaaS · Hospitality techA $35/mo digital butler for the independent chalet owner. CastorOS automates the moments that matter most. The cabin is warm before guests arrive, the door code is on their phone, the hot tub instructions appear when they scan the QR sticker, and the host is notified the second the door opens.
Built for sole owners of high-end cabins and countryside chalets, launching in Quebec. French-first, bilingual, with an AI guest butler named Arthur.
My Challenge Coin
iOS app · FamilyA family achievement app. Parents set real challenges for their kids; kids complete them, take a photo, write a story, and earn a coin. Every coin is proof of something real: a mountain climbed, a fight won, an exam aced.
Between the trophy-for-everyone generation where nothing is earned and the drill-and-pressure model where everything is earned but nothing is enjoyed, My Challenge Coin is the third way: challenges hard enough to matter, rewarding enough to keep going, and memorable enough to last.
L'Étoile Rouge
Short-term rental · 6+ years on AirbnbA year-round log cabin on the banks of the Rivière Rouge in Quebec, with three bedrooms, a wood stove, a riverfront spa, kayaks, and a sandy beach. Running it for over six years (~$80k/year) taught me how to use manual and cordless tools, how to fight mosquitoes, and how to understand Québec a little better.
From vibe-coded to production-ready
Consulting · Audits & ongoing careYou built an app with AI over a few weekends, and now your team or your customers depend on it. I audit it against a 12-point production checklist, fix what matters (sign-in and permissions, backups, monitoring, tests), and look after it so you don't have to.
Audits start at $2,000 USD, with a report in two business days.
Photography
Ongoing · Personal & proOngoing personal and professional projects, from the Journée de la Harpe festival to travel work in Japan, and everything the light offers in between.
I shoot with a Fujifilm GFX 100S and vintage medium format Contax Zeiss 645 lenses.
Raphaël & Léo
The longest projectTwo boys, many songs, and a lifetime of challenges being earned one coin at a time. Chalet life, music, and everything in between.
