About Me

Engineer turned developer

I'm a self-taught web developer with 3+ years of coding experience, based in the Philippines. My journey into web development began with a fascination for how websites operate, which quickly grew into a driving passion for building them.

With a background as a Registered Mechanical Engineerand former Service Engineer at Koppel, Inc., I bring a unique perspective to problem-solving. I've transitioned my analytical mindset from mechanical systems to digital solutions.

Currently, I'm expanding my expertise into networking, server administration, and self-hosting. I'm actively building my own server infrastructure and developing a simple hosting platform using Docker as a hobby project.

Certifications:

  • Registered Mechanical Engineer, Philippines (2022)
  • EFSET English Certificate (C2 Proficient)
  • Proficient in Web Fundamentals (Village88)
