Experience

Full Stack Web Developer

During the outbreak of Coronovirus (COVID-19), we created a web platform from bottom up that original was to give information to citizens on where they can donate their excess PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). After awhile, due to the lack of supply, DonatePPE decided to collaborate with companies (Google, Uniqlo, Flexport, and more ) to do group fundings that helped with purchasing/manufacture big quantities of PPE to help out hospitals.

Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being with friends. Whether it is doing extracurricular activities outdoors or indoors, it is always fun to do things with a group of people. Some outdoor activities I enjoy doing are biking, hiking, basketball, and ultimate frisbee.

I personally own a big collection of board games so when stuck indoors, I will host gatherings with friends and family. When alone, I love binge watching TV shows and I spend my remaining time to explore the latest technology advancements in the development world.
