About

I'm a full stack developer with experience designing and building complete web applications, from responsive frontend interfaces to secure backend systems and cloud deployment. I work most comfortably on the server side — designing databases, hardening APIs, and automating deployments.

I recently graduated with a BS in Computer Science (Summa Cum Laude) from Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao, and I enjoy competitive programming and security CTFs. I care about performance, scalability, and maintainability.
