Davao City, Philippines --:-- local time

Hi, I'm Nikku. I build web apps, front to back.

Full-stack developer working mostly in Vue, Nuxt and Laravel. Through agency work I've helped ship booking platforms, SaaS dashboards and mobile apps for clients, I publish my own iOS apps on the side, and I use AI tooling to move faster without cutting corners.

Hello from Davao

I'm a full-stack developer who never stopped thinking like a computer science student. Most days I'm in Vue, Nuxt, Pinia and Tailwind on the front end, with Laravel behind it, building products for real users.

I treat AI as a force multiplier. Agentic workflows and LLM tooling are part of how I work, so I can move quickly and spend my attention on the parts that need careful thought.

Outside work I'm learning game development in Godot and tinkering with C, C++ and C#. Open-world RPGs are a big influence: huge worlds, layered systems, and the feeling that everything is alive.
