Software developer specializing in web apps with React, Vue, Laravel, WordPress and AI-assisted workflows.
What I'm looking for
I am a software developer with nearly a decade of experience building and maintaining high-traffic production web applications using React, Next.js, Vue 3, Laravel, WordPress, and Node.js. I have strong database experience with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, and I leverage AI tools like GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, and Claude to accelerate prototyping, refactoring, debugging, and documentation while preserving code quality.
My recent work includes developing a Digital Archiving and Tax Mapping application and a Civil Service Commission-aligned admin portal; revamping UI/UX across multiple web apps using Figma, React, and Tailwind CSS; integrating ChatGPT-powered chatbots; and delivering end-to-end features for multi-tenant Laravel systems and Next.js projects. I pair technical delivery with practical project management and curriculum development experience from teaching bootcamp courses.
