Hello!

My name is Raphael, although you might know me better as Instafluff.

Every Wed/Thu/Fri/Sat, I run a channel on Twitch called the Coding Cafe with a following of over 6,000 people, building open-source projects with viewers, ranging from tools and modules to games, and fostering a community of hundreds through a Discord server, all centered around being comfortable being ourselves, learning to connect with and have a genuine acceptance of different people, and inspiring curiosity and appetite for knowledge.

I believe in life-long learning and that coding can benefit everyone, including those who aren't necessarily pursuing a career in code, so most of my software work focuses on inclusivity like a Real-Time Translation Chat Bot bridging language barriers in over 1,000 Twitch channels, making seemingly complex tasks easier to code and less daunting in projects like a Halloween Candy Recognition AI, and reminding you to appreciate life one step at a time and that self-improvement is a journey for all of us.

Building and Sharing

I have created over 150 open-source repositories, notably projects like ComfyJS & ComfyMongoDB used by beginners and advanced programmers to integrate in their projects, with over 1880 contributions total on GitHub in the last year.

And I have run more than 110 Coding Cafe streams just within 2019, building and sharing those projects, making it fun, and getting more people involved and interested in code, as well as giving talks and running workshops like New Twitch Channel Points APIs at Twitch Developer Day 2020 and Building an Extension at TwitchCon.

3 Goals:

• 😎 Confidence - Stay Comfy
• 🤯 Curiosity - Learn
• 🙌 Community - Together

Messages like this mean the world to me.
