Manila based frontend developer
crafting UI/UX for Web and Mobile
I’ve always been drawn to creativity and technology. From high school, where I sketched and played instruments, to developing a natural knack for troubleshooting tech—whether fixing a friend's laptop or upgrading my own gear—I found ways to merge these passions. During the 2020 pandemic, I explored Python and JavaScript, reigniting my love for coding, though I paused to complete my degree in Electronics Engineering.
After graduating, I worked as a PCB Design Engineer, creating circuit boards for cameras, motherboards, and such. I eventually pivoted to web development, combining my technical skills with creativity to craft interactive, visually compelling websites.
Now, every well-designed site inspires me to elevate my skills. Web development has indeed become an obsession.
When I’m away from the screen, you’ll find me playing guitar, at the gym, enjoying Japanese cuisine, or just playing with my two cats.
