~/about

From the Philippines, currently based in Brisbane, Australia. Founding engineer behind two ventures — a custom software development company and a proptech startup — building scalable web applications from the ground up.

Most of my work has been on Laravel and Vue. My focus leans toward system design and backend architecture, but I can comfortably work across the frontend too. Currently deep-diving into TypeScript, Node, and React while strengthening cloud deployment and infrastructure skills.
