What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters learning and growth opportunities.

I am a mid-level full-stack developer with almost three years of work experience, specializing in Java, React, PostgreSQL, and AWS. My journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of the Philippines, where I graduated Cum Laude. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Computer Science, focusing on Computer Vision and Machine Intelligence.

In my current role as an Associate Engineer at Macquarie Group Services, Inc., I contribute to developing and maintaining an internal web application for risk management teams. I have been actively involved in enhancing features and addressing bugs, which has led to my promotion from Associate to Associate Engineer in 2024. I am also passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion, participating in employee groups that support these causes.
