About

Full-stack developer and BSIT graduate who has operated a production SaaS since 2022 — building the API, owning the database, and administering the VPS it runs on. Comfortable across JavaScript, PHP, Python and C#, and used to shipping, debugging and maintaining systems that real users depend on rather than projects that stop at submission.
