AboutMontréal, QC

Bonjour, hi!

I'm Jp and I wear more hats than a H1 can fit

Bio

By day, I'm a Customer Success Engineer at Resend, helping people do more with email—something I've been doing for over a decade, both as a sender and as a vendor. I occasionally tinker on side projects through my company Raccoon Ventures.

In the air, I'm chasing childhood dreams. In 2024, I earned my Private Pilot License. In 2025, I added a Night Rating and started aerobatics training. In June 2026, I earned my Floats rating and became a licensed seaplane pilot. Next up: Multi-Engine and Commercial. The sky, it turns out, is not the limit.

On the ground, I'm usually gardening (or in winter, convincing a mango tree to survive in Montréal), 3D printing more or less useful contraptions, or cooking something from scratch.

I used to shoot photography more seriously (my photos have been viewed over 300,000,000 times on Unsplash) but these days I mostly just point my phone at things or actually go through the hurdle of completely mechanical film cameras.

Curious by default. Not knowing how to do something just means I've unlocked a new sidequest.
