I’m Dariel, a software engineer based in Mandaluyong City, Philippines. My work centers on backend architecture, API integrations, data-driven applications, and the infrastructure that gets software safely into production.
I’ve contributed to healthcare, insurance, booking, ERP, microfinance, e-commerce, and real-estate systems. I also work comfortably with React and Next.js when a project needs end-to-end delivery, while keeping backend reliability and maintainability at the core.
