What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product-minded full-stack role where I can ship maintainable Next.js/React features with CMS and commerce, iterate with users, and own work end to end—from content modeling to responsive polish.

I’m a product-minded full-stack developer with an operator’s sense for customers and delivery. I translate rough product needs into clean, maintainable experiences that are practical to ship and easy to operate, drawing on real-world experience running cafe and coworking operations in Siargao.

Now I build web products with Next.js, TypeScript, React, Strapi, and Medusa—plus REST API integrations—owning implementation details from content modeling and UI composition to responsive polish and handoff-ready code patterns. I’ve led prototype and production work, including a memory-to-story AI prototype (Little Legends AI) and a production Strapi CMS site with editor-friendly content management (BLURR).
