About
Just a student who loves to build things.
I started out curious about games, and ended up building real apps and websites. Here's a little about me.
I got interested in technology back in high school, not because of books, but because I was curious about how to make game rewards unlimited in the games I played. That simple curiosity slowly became a real passion when we started learning HTML in our Computer subject. Then during our Grade 10 portfolio project, I realized that I wanted to create application, software systems, and websites in the future.
Now, I'm a 4th year BSIT student at College of St. Catherine, learning programming, UI design, and how to build projects that are useful and reliable. Outside of coding, I enjoy playing basketball, dancing, playing online games, and watching or talking about movies with my friends.
My goal is to finish my degree, become a Senior Developer someday, and continue improving my skills by solving different kinds of problems.

Education the path so far
S.Y. 2026 Present
College · College of St. Catherine Quezon City
Pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, learning web, app interfaces, and software development with the goal of becoming a Senior Developer someday. Amen.
2020 — 2026
Senior High School · San Emmanuel National High School, Tacurong
Graduated with a Humanities and Social Sciences strand during the pandemic. My school didn't offer tech or computer courses, but my plan to take an IT course in college was already set.
2019 — 2020
High School · Notre Dame of Tacurong College
Got into coding through our Computer subject, picked up basic web development, and got my first taste of how software actually gets built. And that was the reason I chose IT.
2015 — 2016
Elementary · San Emmanuel Elementary School
Mostly playing, mostly outside. No grand plan yet just childhood, done well.
