ABOUT ME

I worked as a full-time BSIT instructor at St. Cecilia’s College-Cebu, where I also managed the school’s official websites, handled Google Admin for nearly 200 employees and over 8,000 students, and maintained its social media presence and official accounts.

During my time there, I developed several web applications for the school, including a teachers’ evaluation reporting system and a student grade viewing portal. I was also responsible for designing layouts and editing graphics for posters and major school events.

I am passionate about system development and understanding how processes work. I make it a priority to stay updated and deepen my knowledge, not only to have something valuable to teach my students, but also because I genuinely enjoy building systems and finding solutions to real-world problems. Developing something functional and solving processes has always been both a professional responsibility and a personal interest for me.

RECENT PROJECTS

Here are a few of my recent web applications. In these projects, I've used various technologies to build functional and engaging web experiences. Each one showcases my approach to problem-solving and development.
