Bonjour, my name is Alexandre and I live in Montreal.

I’m what you could call a Product Designer/Developer. What I mean by that is that I have a designer background but have been coding ever since I started to design. What I really care about is understanding how things work and learning how to build or improve them.

I am currently working as a Designer at Shopify. I also have a couple of side projects I try to regularly spend time on:

• Hermit

  Hermit is a community of over 17,000 aspiring authors and people who love to write from across the globe. It also has an Anonymous Pen Pal platform used by over 1000 people.

• Hiragana & Katakana Training

  Two small apps I made when I started taking Japanese classes. Remembering all the characters of the different alphabets was hard and I needed something to help me study. Of course, I’m too fancy for flash cards.

Stuff I like

• Photography
• Chess
• Coffee / Tea
• Video Games (I made one a few years ago)
• Astronomy
• You (probably)

Stuff I wrote

• How My Startup Made $0 In It’s First 2 Years.
