The long version — who I am, what I value, and how I got here.
$ cat about.txt
I'm Kenjie — a BSIT student and full-stack developer who treats software as a system, not just a collection of features.
I naturally gravitate toward the backend: business logic, database design, APIs, and workflows. I like figuring out how things should work before figuring out how to code them.
I'm comfortable across the stack, but my strongest contribution is often in the thinking behind the system — simplifying processes, connecting the pieces, and making sure the user flow actually makes sense.
I also have a strong eye for UX and product flow. I may not be the person designing every visual from scratch, but I'm usually the person asking: "Does this make sense to the user?"
I care about building practical systems that solve the actual problem without adding unnecessary complexity.
