How I work

I'm a full-stack software developer who builds web applications, mobile applications, and desktop software for organizations that need technology built around how they actually work, not the other way around.

My background is in design, so usability and functionality are never an afterthought. What I enjoy most is taking a manual, time-consuming process, like permit processing, inventory tracking, or payroll computation, and turning it into something faster, more reliable, and easier for people to actually use every day.

I hold a Computer Science foundation and a national-level certification in web development (TESDA NC III). Whatever the project, I aim for the same thing: software that's reliable, easy to use, and solves the actual problem it was built to solve.

Experience & Background

Professional web development work, teaching, and nationally recognized results in web technologies competitions.

My competition journey

Four competitions as a competitor, each one a step up from the last, and then one more from the other side as an expert.

2023
Provincial
Gold
This is where my run started. The provincial Skills Competition in Web Development was the first stage of the TESDA skills ladder, and the gold medal I won here opened the door to everything after it.
Competing in web development meant building working pages against the clock, judged on the result. That is a different test from a classroom exercise, and it set the habits I carried into every later round: plan first, build cleanly, and keep going while the clock runs.

2023
Regional
Gold
My provincial win took me straight into the regional round later in 2023, where the field was larger and the pressure higher.
I won gold again. The format stayed the same, but each round asked for a little more speed and polish than the one before.
This podium photo is the regional awarding. Winning here kept my road to the national competition open.
2024
National
Silver
In August 2024 the Philippine National Skills Competition took over the World Trade Center in Metro Manila. I competed in Web Technologies for TESDA Caraga, against the best from every region of the country.
I finished with the silver medal in Web Technologies. It was the highest level I had reached so far, and the result that put me in line for the ASEAN team.

2025
WorldSkills ASEAN
Philippine representative
WorldSkills ASEAN Manila 2025 was the top of the ladder. I represented the Philippines in Web Technologies on home soil, up against the strongest web developers from across Southeast Asia, each one there to carry their own country's flag.
It was also where the earlier rounds paid off. The competition floor, the headset and the shared workstation area were new, but the work was the same one I had been practising since the provincial round.
The competition was only half of what I took home from Manila. I left with friends from across Southeast Asia, people I met at the next workstation and now call friends for life, and those are the friendships I will always cherish.
2026
WorldSkills Philippines Surigao del Sur
Silver, as an expert
In 2026 I came back to the competition floor from the other side of the table: as an expert, not a competitor, at the WorldSkills Philippines Surigao del Sur Competition in Web Development.
It was my first time as an expert, and I went up against my former expert. My competitor took silver, and only his competitor beat mine to gold. Not a bad result for a first-timer.
