Hi, I'm Raphaël!

Whether you want to thank me by buying me a coffee and fuel my caffeine addiction or ensure I can work full time on a project you care about, all help is greatly appreciated.

The simple fact you're reading this page and consider sponsoring me already warms my heart.
Thank you!

Interests 💭

🎹 Old synths, especially sound expanders, e-drum modules, digital effects processors and control surfaces are fascinating to me.
🎚️ I love both software & hardware.
🐍 I'm a Python enthusiast.
