Raphaël Kanapitsas

I explore the worlds of math, code, and adventure—building ideas and discovering the unexpected. Whether I’m coding a new project, diving into a math problem, or exploring somewhere new in the world, I’m driven by curiosity and a desire to understand how things work.

Here you’ll find my thoughts on technology, travel, and rationality, along with services I offer as a developer and tutor. Some of it might be useful, some might make you think, and hopefully some will make you smile.

About Me

I started as a curious kid experimenting with Linux and coding, and now I build clean, functional apps that people actually want to use. But I’m not just about pixels and algorithms—I’m as comfortable solving math problems as I am freediving off Thailand’s coasts or trekking across Pyrenean peaks.

Lately, I’ve been shifting toward creating over consuming, and this website is part of that journey…
