About Me
I'm Francis Tin-ao, a software engineer based in Butuan City, Philippines. I work across the full stack — TypeScript, Next.js, and React Native on the frontend, NodeJS on the backend, Docker,VPS Cloud Platforms, and Vercel for deployment. I'm comfortable owning a project end to end.
Most of my experience has been in fast-moving environments — government, startups, hackathons, and personal client work — where shipping under real constraints was the job. I've built across healthcare, education, tourism, and VR, keeping me adaptable to what a project actually needs.
