Engineer first, developer always.

I'm a self-taught developer based in the Philippines with three-plus years of shipping production web apps. I specialize in both frontend and backend — React, TanStack, and Next.js on the UI side, paired with Node, Express, and MongoDB on the server. TypeScript and Tailwind CSS are my daily tools, and I care deeply about performance, accessibility, and the kind of polish that makes users trust the product.

Before code I was a Registered Mechanical Engineer and Service Engineer at Koppel, Inc., running after-sales for HVAC systems for 1 year and 9 months. That job taught me to think in systems: parts, dependencies, failure modes, repeatable processes. I now apply the same discipline to component architecture, API design, state management, and deploys.

I work across the whole stack — interfaces, APIs, data models, and the infrastructure underneath. I self-host my own servers with Docker and Linux, and I'm building PHCloud, a small Docker-based PaaS, so I can ship client projects without ever leaving the stack I control.
