I'm Sebastien Barrau. I live in Miami, where I turn my ideas into products.

From a young age, I was captivated by building and creating. My journey into the digital world began with an ad for free web hosting in a computer magazine. This led to my launching my first online venture: a web forum called Sakgenla for the Haitian community, where I discovered my passion for web design and development.

As a teenager, I was heavily influenced by my friend's older brother, a talented graphic designer. I was always in awe of his work, and it inspired me to pursue a degree in graphic design, believing it would provide a solid foundation for a future in web development. This blend of creativity and technology has always been at the core of what I do, driving me to explore new ways to bring ideas to life.

One of my favorite personal projects was an attempt to automate scoring for our office foosball table. Using Arduinos, lasers, light sensors, and a Raspberry Pi, I set out to build a web-based scoreboard. It wasn't a finished product, but it worked well enough for us to use it during our foosball games, and it was a fun challenge that kept me tinkering during breaks at work. Projects like these remind me of the joy of inventing—of starting from scratch and seeing where my curiosity takes me.

Today, I'm part of the team at Bluejay Labs, where we focus on developing innovative software that helps small businesses succeed. Our latest project, businesscards.io, embodies our commitment to blending technology with creativity, crafting tools that make a difference. I'm excited about the future of Bluejay Labs and the products we're building together, always looking for fresh, original approaches to solve real-world problems.
