 Quick Facts
🔭 Building Tasked & Confused
— React + Express + MongoDB
🌱 Currently learning authentication flows, state management, and not naming variables x
☕ Powered by Kopiko 78°C and well-placed console.log statements
⚡ Superpower: Googling error messages faster than a Grab rider on EDSA
🛡️ Backend philosophy: If it doesn't have helmet, cors, and rate-limit, it's not production
🐛 Debug strategy: console.log("BAKIT GANITO")
🎯 2026 Goal: Deploy to production without --force pushing
💀 Worst fear: Merge conflict at 5PM on a Friday
🧠 Life lesson: git stash has saved more relationships than therapy

the database connection, and my will to live — all at 2AM.

📂 Other Projects
 Library Management System A system for managing book inventories, borrower records, and due-date tracking.

Thanks for scrolling this far — you're now officially more patient than my code reviewer.
If you liked what you saw, star a repo. If you didn't, blame the CSS.
