Projects and results

Work

LAN JDL and the Stream-o-Thon are at the heart of my work. Around them, I build digital tools that give a volunteer team more reach.

Project 01 · Since 2019

LAN JDL

Role
Vice-President, Innovation JDL
The project
A weekend of recreational gaming, run by the non-profit Innovation JDL, that brings together players from all over Québec.

What I brought

  • In 2020, I start the shift to a non-profit, Innovation JDL: charter, code of ethics, conflict-of-interest rules and financial transparency.
  • I professionalize the event: five-phase planning and about ten coordinated volunteer teams.
  • I develop partnerships and grant applications, with an impact report for every partner.
  • I measure impact: figure-based reports and event reports, with method and limits spelled out.
  • I lead the digital shift: AI video, website, online store, automation and knowledge management.
  • Event organizing
  • Volunteer leadership
  • Social-impact partnerships
  • Data and accountability

Project 02 · Since 2020

Stream-o-Thon

Role
Founder
The project
A live fundraiser on Twitch, born during the pandemic, for young people’s mental health online.

What I brought

  • In 2020, I found the Stream-o-Thon: streamers going live for a cause.
  • We find the cause that meets the need we saw in our communities: the Fondation des Gardiens virtuels, whose digital street workers support young people on Twitch and Discord.
  • I mobilize content creators and coordinate team fundraisers.
  • In 2024, despite a DDoS attack, we switch platforms mid-event and the fundraising goes on.
  • Live fundraising
  • Social-impact partnerships
  • Live broadcasting

$450K+

given to charities since 2020 through the Stream-o-Thon

$84K+

for the Fondation des Gardiens virtuels in 2026, beyond the $75,000 goal

Result Most donations come directly from the community.

The cause

Stream-o-Thon donations go to the Fondation des Gardiens virtuels. Since 2018, the foundation has turned platforms such as Twitch and Discord into places for preventive psychosocial support: its digital street workers, trained and supervised by the foundation, offer young people confidential, free support there.

Digital and strategic projects

And more

Designer and builderLAN JDL 2026

Claude-driven video editing engine

You ask for a video in plain French; Claude Code edits it from the organization’s photo and video library.

  • Editing synced to the music’s tempo, about twenty visual effects and reusable “recipes”: teaser, countdown, recap, partner thank-you.
  • Automatic transcription of interviews and live streams (Whisper) to pull out the highlights.
  • Guardrails: nothing is made up on screen, originals are never modified, a silent version respects music licences.

≈ 40 promotional videos delivered in three weeks for LAN JDL 2026

Result A reusable template for other brands.

Designer and developer

lanjdl.ca website and online store

LAN JDL’s official website and its Shopify store, styled like the Stream-o-Thon overlays.

  • A fast static site (Astro, Cloudflare) whose content lives in simple, automatically validated files.
  • Browser tests, automated accessibility checks and continuous integration.
  • A custom Shopify theme, chosen from six art-direction mock-ups.

Result Volunteers fix a date or a partner without writing code.

Designer

AI routines: partners and grants

Every day, one routine finds an organization aligned with the mission and drafts an email for review; another watches for grants.

  • Prospecting: verified facts, a personalized draft email, a summary sent to the team on Discord.
  • Grants: one sheet per program and a bank of “adaptations” showing how to become eligible.
  • No automatic sending, no unverified figure or contact.

Result More reach for a volunteer team, without losing human control.

Partnership strategy

2027 partnership plan

Drawing on experience, we drop sponsorship tiers and focus on social impact.

  • A single partner status and a contribution suited to each partner’s means.
  • Five impact areas: volunteers, social integration, participants, streamers and the Foundation.
  • An impact report for every partner after the event.

Result Partners chosen for what they make possible, not for a bigger logo.

Analysis and writing

2026 report and partner report

Proving the event’s impact with solid figures, and stating their limits clearly.

  • Analysis of Twitch channels, Tiltify fundraisers and posts on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.
  • An event report for partners, laid out automatically.
  • Ethical choices: no unvalidated comparison, no one in a social-integration program named.

Result A documented method, reusable from one edition to the next.

Technical design

MeetUp zone broadcast control room

A Twitch broadcast station ready to be run by people with no experience, from setup to going live.

  • OBS, PTZ cameras and setup scripts.
  • A printable operator sheet.

Result A control room that doesn’t depend on a single technician.

Information architecture

AI-searchable knowledge base

The organization’s knowledge, structured and versioned, so volunteers get reliable answers.

  • A document corpus (charter, volunteer guide, reports, plans) with reliability statuses.
  • A system prompt for the organization’s assistant (AnythingLLM) and editing rules, all in Git.
  • A vault shared by humans and agents, keeping track of where every source comes from.

Result Knowledge that carries over from one edition to the next.
