Hi, I'm Ryan —
a Full-Stack Engineer

I'm a full-stack engineer from the Philippines. I'm 29 years old and have been building web applications for about nine years now — that's roughly 0 days of shipping code, solving problems, and learning what "production-ready" really means.

Most of my work has been with Laravel and Vue, building real, production-level systems for property developers, internal and operation teams, and enterprise clients. I've led development teams, shipped end-to-end platforms, and co-founded two companies along the way. I enjoy working on products that solve messy, real-world problems.

These days, I'm expanding my toolkit — getting deeper into modern JavaScript architecture, Node.js, React... Next.js, while also improving my understanding of cloud infrastructure and how to deploy systems that scale reliably. I love learning things that make me a better engineer and allow me to ship faster and smarter.

Outside of work, I've been focusing on fitness. It took me some time to make it a must in my routine, but I enjoy the discipline and steady progress. It mirrors the consistency and continuous improvement I value in good engineering.

Hackathons have been my playground for rapid innovation. I've taken part in multiple competitions, working closely with skilled colleagues to push ideas from concept to working prototypes within a matter of hours. These experiences refined my ability to think clearly under pressure, iterate quickly, and execute decisively. Having won UBPXcellerator UHack x DTI (2022), Decode Tomorrow Hackathon (2018), and Decode Tomorrow Hackathon+ (2018), these events served less as contests and more as proving grounds for disciplined execution, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
