Bio

Hi, I'm JC, a developer from the Philippines. I'm passionate about using web technologies to improve people's lives. I'm at my 4th year studying at the Technological Institute of the Philippines QC to complete my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.

Experience

Foundation

My early computer science classes were taught using Java, but since I had decided to specialize on Intelligent Systems for my degree, I also became familiar with Python. This required experimenting with expert systems, natural language processing, and machine learning using packages like Pandas and Pytorch.

Web Development

Even before university, I already begun my web development journey independently. I started with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then moved on to using PHP. As early as my 1st year in college, I learned React and Vue. I applied these in my personal projects like Vue. Soon after, I started using these whenever possible in my academic projects. Specifically, I used Nuxt and Vue for my Software Engineering 1 & 2 project, and now a mix of React, Pytorch, and Laravel for my thesis research project.
