About me

I'm Kobie, an IT student and freelance developer from the Philippines. I started in Grade 10 and haven't stopped building since: web and mobile apps, IoT devices and games. Cybersecurity is what I'm learning now, through labs and CTFs, and it has changed how I design what I build.

My journey

  1. The Spark

    Grade 10

    Curiosity ignited. Started wondering how phones, TVs, and systems really work. Technology wasn't just magic—it was logic waiting to be understood.

  2. Learning with Nothing

    Pandemic Era

    The world shut down, but learning didn't stop. Armed with only a low-end tablet, YouTube, articles, and pure determination—I taught myself to code. No AI. No shortcuts. Just repetition, logic, and discipline.

  3. EUNOIA: The First Big Build

    Grade 12

    Created EUNOIA—a school-exclusive social platform for Lagro High School in Quezon City. Safe anonymous matching, study tools, notes sharing, groups, and announcements. A complete student ecosystem built from scratch.

  4. Recognition

    Senior High

    EUNOIA became the Top 1 Congressional Research project in school. The project that started as an idea became proof that persistence and creativity matter more than resources.

  5. The Journey Continues

    College (IT)

    Now pursuing IT in college with a deep focus on cybersecurity, Linux, systems, and programming. Building more. Learning faster. Ready to create solutions that matter.
