What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build responsive React/Next.js websites, strengthen SEO, and deliver high-impact design—working with cross-functional teams to produce measurable user and business results.

I’m a Full-stack Web Developer and Graphic Designer with over 13 years of experience building responsive web products, managing database-backed systems, and creating branding that supports business goals. I focus on user experience, scalable implementation, and clear collaboration across teams.

At iPay, I developed responsive websites and web applications using React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, improving usability and functionality. I authored API documentation for the iPay API and eLipa API to enable seamless developer integration, and I implemented SEO strategies that boosted search engine rankings and increased visibility by 30%.

I also support marketing and performance outcomes by monitoring Google Analytics and newsletter performance, turning insights into actionable strategies. Alongside development, I designed branding materials—logos and email templates—using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and I provided technical support including secure VPN configuration with OpenVPN and maintained detailed documentation.

Earlier, at Intrepid Data Systems, I built and maintained responsive web applications using HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, while optimizing for SEO to increase client traffic by 25%. I began in ICT support roles—managing updates, troubleshooting networks, and improving system performance—and I bring that practical, reliability-first mindset into every website I deliver.
