Software Engineering at the
University of California, Irvine

I'm a Software Engineering student at UC Irvine, passionate about building fast, responsive, and beautiful web applications. I specialize in modern full-stack development using Next.js, TailwindCSS, TypeScript, and Node.js--focusing on clean UI, intuitive UX, and real-world performance.
Outside of coding, I'm big on my own personal development--balancing the grind with daily gym sessions, consistent reading, tennis training, and getting in touch with my Filipino heritage (i'm whitewashed lol).
I'm always pushing to create high-impact software and sharpen both my technical and personal edge. Let's build something meaningful together!

I've been working as a Full-Stack Software Engineer for the past few months.
Here's a timeline of my journey so far.

Engineered and deployed a full-stack automated job platform using Next.js, TailwindCSS, and MongoDB, continuously scraping over 2000 new remote job postings per week from major remote job boards.
Integrated an email subscription service using Next.js API routes and SendGrid, delivering daily and weekly curated remote job listings to 100+ subscribers, boosting platform engagement by 30%.
Optimized scraping and database indexing logic to handle 2000+ weekly postings with minimal duplication, ensuring platform reliability and increasing query speed by 40%.

Engineered and launched a responsive B2B AI Agency site using Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and Framer Motion, decreasing initial rendering time to under 1 second.
Enhanced the site’s visibility through SEO optimizations, achieving a 98/100 Lighthouse score and increasing organic search impressions by 25% in initial indexing.
Partnered directly with the founder through 3+ rounds of design iterations, refining layout and copy to align with business goals and contributing to a 20% increase in user click-throughs to key CTA sections.
