About Me

I'm Tonie, an 18-year-old programmer from the Philippines currently surviving ICT, which stands for Information Communication and Technology but often feels like a full-time adventure in debugging. I spend my days building web interfaces that don’t make users cry, tinkering with microcontrollers until they do what I want, and creating practical tools that actually solve real problems instead of just looking cool. I like learning new tricks, breaking things to understand how they work, and occasionally pretending that my code knows what it’s doing. If you ever need something designed, coded, or magically made to work, I am your person.

What I Do

Build web pages that actually look good and don’t make users cry
Tinker with microcontrollers and IoT gadgets until they do my bidding (Arduino, ESP32, you name it)
Design UIs and tools that are useful, not just flashy

How I Work

Write code that is readable, accessible, and doesn’t secretly hate me
Follow the sacred cycle: prototype, test, ship, repeat
Focus on small wins and things you can actually measure

Interests

Building websites and experimenting with new tech
Contributing to open-source projects because sharing is caring
Learning all the cool new stuff in web and embedded development

Goals

Create products that people actually find useful
Grow into a full-stack developer people can rely on
Give back to the programming community in any way I can

Skills & Tools

JavaScript

ES6+, DOM wizardry, Fetch magic, and occasionally convincing the browser to behave

TypeScript

Typed JavaScript, safer code, fewer runtime surprises, and confidence in big projects

React

Component-based UIs, hooks magic, and making SPAs feel alive

Vue

Reactive views, simplicity, and getting stuff done without overcomplication

TailwindCSS

Utility-first styling, responsive design, and making layouts look fancy in record time

Node.js

JavaScript on the server, fast APIs, and keeping backend code as familiar as the frontend

Express.js

Minimalist web framework, routing wizardry, and making APIs behave

HTML5

Semantic markup that keeps screen readers happy and browsers content

CSS

Layouts, animations, responsive design, and occasional pixel-perfect obsession

Python

Scripting, automating tasks, and prototyping things faster than coffee consumption

Low-level programming, algorithms, and feeling like a wizard controlling memory

C++

OOP, STL, and occasionally yelling at memory management

Linux

Command line sorcery, shell scripting, and managing environments without tears

Arduino / ESP

Making microcontrollers do cool stuff and gadgets that actually work

Git

Version control, branching chaos, and workflow survival skills

These are the tools and skills I actually use in real projects. Not all are from formal employment unless stated.

Featured Projects

Taskify

A minimal task manager with timers and local storage.
