"Nelo"
Software Engineer
I build backend systems and cloud platforms that are reliable, observable, and easy to operate. 12+ years shipping production software across enterprise SaaS, fintech, and platform engineering.
Experience
I care about
production fundamentals
I’m a software engineer based in the Philippines. My core focus is backend engineering: designing APIs, building integrations, and keeping systems stable as traffic and complexity grow.
I graduated from Aklan State University (BSIT, 2012) with recognition for software project development. Since then, I’ve worked across both enterprise and startup environments, shipping features end-to-end and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
I value pragmatic engineering: clear ownership, measurable outcomes, and systems that are easy to debug and operate.
