About The Caffeinated Coder Behind Every Keystroke

<Hello World/>

I am a full-stack web developer who designs and builds dependable web applications.

I bring over 9 years of experience working on production systems in professional team environments, contributing to project development - from backend architecture to clean and intuitive user interfaces. This background allows me to deliver cohesive, maintainable software with a strong understanding of how systems are built, deployed, and maintained.

I work with proven technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, MySQL, and Docker. My work focuses on practical coding practices that support performance, scalability, and long-term stability.

Alongside my full-time work, I build professional personal websites and focused web applications for small businesses. I’m also open to collaborative projects, contracts, and broader web development roles.

This site is a glimpse of how I think, build, and refine software - powered by experience, attention to detail, and an unreasonable amount of caffeine.

Where Code Went to Production

The environments where my code transitioned from idea to production.

Mortgage Origination Platform

CAI-STA Philippines, Inc.

Oct 2017 to Present · Taguig, Philippines

  • I work on a proprietary origination platform used by a mortgage services company to support home loans, refinancing, and custom lending products. The system supports daily business operations and handles complex workflows, integrations, and evolving requirements.
  • My work focuses on building and maintaining backend services and web application components designed to scale without becoming brittle. This includes designing REST APIs, integrating with internal and third-party systems, and refactoring legacy code to improve performance and long-term maintainability.
  • I regularly support the application in production by investigating issues, fixing defects, and ensuring changes could be released safely. I also help improve development practices through containerization, consistent code reviews, and automated testing to reduce regressions.

Academic Footsteps

The educational foundation behind my approach to designing, building and maintaining software systems.

school 2011 to 2015

BS Information Technology

Major in Database Systems

Mindanao State University | Marawi City

My studies focused on programming, database design, and web application development, with an emphasis on building systems that are structured, reliable, and maintainable. I worked with Java and SQL through coursework and project work, and completed a project recognized with a Best Capstone Project award. This period established the technical fundamentals that continue to support my work in production environments today.

nature 2009 to 2011

BS Forestry

Transferred to BS IT

Mindanao State University | Marawi City

This program emphasized structured analysis and fieldwork. Over time, it became clear that it wasn’t aligned with my interests, which reinforced the importance of doing work I’m genuinely engaged in and led me to transition into Information Technology.

dictionary 2005 to 2009

Secondary

Balulang National High School

Cagayan de Oro City

I developed a foundation in mathematics, communication, and basic computer literacy. Beyond academics, this period helped shape discipline, work ethic, and the ability to work and communicate well with others - qualities that continue to influence how I approach my work.

Let’s Build Something Solid

Professional web development for individuals and small businesses.

If you’re planning a website or web application, I’m happy to talk. I work with individuals and small businesses on focused projects, and I’m also open to longer-term collaborations. Email or mobile works best. I usually respond quickly - coffee permitting.
