Pasig City, Philippines
Download as PDFI design and build enterprise apps and fancy front pages for businesses of all sizes. I’m really good at the nerd stuff (a.k.a., code), and I’m a star at the cute stuff (i.e., design). I’m a Capricorn, so I can lead teams. And I’m also a Sagittarius Rising, so somehow people let me.
