About Me
Hey, I'm Theo.
Hi, I'm Theodore V, a 32-year-old designer, tester, and full-stack developer from the Philippines. Over the past 14 years, I've had the opportunity to work on a range of projects that focus on clean, usable, and thoughtfully built digital experiences. I've also been fortunate enough to teach at the university level, where I shared what I've learned with up-and-coming developers.
I enjoy working across the stack—from building Laravel backends and Shopify apps to React frontends and Firebase-based platforms. What matters most to me is making things that are practical, efficient, and intuitive for users.
Whether it's bridging design and development or solving small but meaningful problems (like a bug that just won't quit), I try to approach each task with care and curiosity. If I can clean up some Tailwind or improve performance along the way, all the better.
Dark mode? Always. Static typing? Definitely. And if you're looking for someone who actually enjoys sweating the details—I'm your guy.
Oh, and yes, I hold a Master's in Computer Science. 🎓
