Starting my professional journey as a Jr. Laravel Developer Intern (Jun-Aug 2024), I built a strong foundational expertise by developing an end-to-end subscription management system using Laravel, Vue.js, and Inertia.js, where I mastered database optimization, CRUD operations, and process automation through Laravel Jobs and Schedulers. I quickly broadened this technical base during my subsequent Junior Software Engineer Internship (Aug-Nov 2025), where I transitioned to a production environment focusing on modern full-stack development with Next.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL, and gained crucial exposure to professional DevOps practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, and Docker deployments using CapRover. Leveraging this comprehensive skill set, I then stepped into a leadership role as a Freelance Laravel Livewire Developer (Jan 2025 - Present), serving as a technical mentor and lead developer for a master's capstone project. In this capacity, I designed and delivered a complex, role-based Human Resource Information System (HRIS) for educational institutions using Laravel, Livewire, and Tailwind CSS, successfully implementing backend architecture, approval workflows, digital record generation, and RESTful APIs, which demonstrates not only my specialization but also my ability to mentor and deliver enterprise-grade software. This practical experience is underpinned by my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (2021-2025), where my thesis, the "Forest Product Collectors Monitoring System," achieved an ISO/IEC 25010:2023 compliance rating of 4.64/5 (Excellent), proving my commitment to building high-quality, impactful software solutions.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (2021-2025)

During my four-year Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Visayas State University, I built a strong foundation in software engineering, AI, and full-stack development through various research and project-based experiences. I led and collaborated on multiple academic projects, including “Cash Compass,” an e-commerce platform, expert systems, and mobile applications such as an Android-based inventory management system. My thesis, Forest Product Collectors Monitoring System (Dec 2024–May 2025), is an enterprise-grade web platform developed for VSU’s Forest Protection Unit that digitizes forest product collection management through interactive GIS mapping, automated workflows, and comprehensive analytics. Built with Vue.js, Supabase, Tailwind CSS, Leaflet.js, and Vercel, the system achieved an ISO/IEC 25010:2023 compliance rating of 4.64/5 (Excellent), streamlining approval workflows by 70% and replacing manual records with a secure, real-time monitoring solution.
