About Me
CAFFEINE DRIVEN DEVELOPERI taught myself to use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator when I was in high school, I made a couple of client projects and shaped my passion to pursue graphic design. When I was in college, I took Computer Science and I fell in love in web development, until it made me realize, why not pursue them both and become a front-end developer?
However as I graduated, my job was Full-stack web developer where I honed my skills in creating, managing and maintaining interactive website. Oh and also, I was a part-time instructor teaching Computer Science subjects.
I began my development journey with Angular, but transitioned to React when I noticed its increasing demand. Currently, my preferred stack includes React and Tailwind for frontend web development Ionic for mobile development, and Laravel for the backend.
When I'm not coding, you can find me playing single-player games, reading about system design, cycling or running outside. I'm currently based in Philippines.
