Metro Manila, Philippines  ·  Get in Touch via i (at) catzie.net  ·  Seeking: Remote Work

Software developer with 15+ years across web (PHP, Laravel, WordPress) and Android (Java, now Kotlin). I’ve built apps for brand promotions, social-media-style CRM, and rugged retail scanners with Bluetooth label printers. I like building the guardrails around the code (tests, logging, docs, releases), work AI-assisted while reviewing everything myself, and paint with watercolor and gouache when I’m off the clock.

Interests

I have an ever-changing set of interests beyond Android app development, except learning how random things under the sun works, which has been interesting to me for as long as I can remember.

As of writing, things that I enjoy are:

  • Japanese stationeries, planners, journals
  • Cheap, practical fountain pens and interesting ink samples!
  • Languages, etymology
  • Visual arts (watercolor, gouache, etc), music, K-pop
  • Health, wellness, and self-improvement contents
  • Zelda "era of the wilds" games
  • Red pandas, Pokémon, and Chiikawa!
