After working as a Store Manager at Nike Factory Store, I ran Amber's Cafe from 2020 to 2024. I then transitioned into remote work as a Virtual Assistant while pursuing software development through academic projects and personal builds.

Amber's Cafe
Ran Amber's Cafe from 2020 to 2024, bringing my retail management experience into running my own business.
Nike Factory Store
Led store operations and team performance in a fast-paced retail environment, building strong leadership and problem-solving skills.
My experience combines formal IT education, freelance client work, and ongoing learning. This is how that background shapes the websites and applications I deliver.
I build websites for real businesses, including service companies in New Zealand. These projects taught me how to turn a short brief into a clear, working site that helps customers find and contact the business.
My information technology studies gave me a strong foundation in programming, databases, networking, and software engineering, which I apply to every website and application I build.
I earned a TOPCIT certification, an international assessment of IT competency, which reflects the practical problem solving and technical knowledge behind my work.
Because I do both, I can make design decisions that are realistic to build and development decisions that protect the design. Clients deal with one person instead of coordinating between a designer and a developer.
I work from the Philippines with clients in different time zones. Clear written updates, shared previews, and scheduled calls keep projects moving without confusion.
You get someone with technical depth, an eye for design, and the communication habits needed to deliver a website on time and explain every decision in plain language.
