Raphaël Berset is a frontend engineer at Atelier Léman in Geneva, where he builds the kind of web interfaces that feel inevitable: fast, accessible, and quietly well-constructed. With one foot in engineering and one in design, he acts as a translator between the two — turning design intent into systems that scale without accumulating debt.
He has led teams building component libraries for international clients and is a fixture in the web community through talks, workshops, and open-source work. His quiet obsession is making the web faster and more inclusive for everyone, on every connection.
Raphaël is an avid cyclist and often sketches UI ideas while on long rides around Lac Léman — he says the best layouts arrive around kilometre forty.
