About Me

I'm captaincto, a UI/UX designer and developer based in Montréal. I design from scratch — information architecture, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity screens — and then build it myself. I care deeply about the gap between a design and its implementation, and I close it end-to-end.

Right now I'm building Touch Grass, a travel planning and outdoor wellness app, solo from concept to launch. I start university in September 2026. Open to remote roles in design, development, and content.

It started with game modding. I was making custom maps for Brawl Stars and began asking why everything looked the way it did — which led to design, which led to code, which led to building full products end-to-end.

I tried applying to art school once. They said no. Turns out the tools I needed were free all along. Coding is the most expressive creative medium I've found — you design something, then you make it real. I haven't stopped building since.

Async by default. I communicate clearly in writing, give proper status updates, and don't need someone to check in every hour to stay on track. Remote work suits me — I've been working this way from the start.

Design first. Before writing a line of code on any feature, I prototype it. Every project starts with an information architecture, user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity screens before I open VS Code.

I ship things. Projects get finished, pushed, and shared. I care about the quality of what I put out — clean code, tested features, something people can actually use.

Walking around a new city is one of my favourite things to do — which is partly why I'm building an app that nudges people to go outside. I write, read widely, and try new things whenever I can: geography, history, travel, music, cooking, acting.

Antarctica is on the list. The penguins will have to wait — it costs more than a reasonable number of kidneys.
