About

I'm a senior full-stack developer based in Cebu, Philippines, with 20 years of experience building web applications for companies around the world. It started with a BS in Computer Science from the University of the Philippines Mindanao and grew through hands-on work on SaaS products, performance marketing platforms and integrations that teams depend on every day.

PHP is still the core of my work, with Vue.js and Nuxt on the front end and MySQL underneath. I also look after what sits below the code: GraphQL and REST APIs, Docker, AWS and Cloudflare, and the CI/CD pipelines that ship it all.

I use Claude Code every day, but the design, code review, testing and release decisions stay with me. I've led client projects and a small development team, and I put a lot of weight on clear communication: turning a client's or team's idea into software that ships, then keeping it healthy.

Education

  • BS Computer Science, University of the Philippines Mindanao, 2006
  • PhilNITS Certified IT Professional
