# ABOUT ME
Hello world! I'm Emmanuel "Emman" P. Barrameda, a full-stack developer from the Philippines specializing in the TALL Stack (Tailwind, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire) and FilamentPHP. I build maintainable and scalable web-based systems for real-world use from client/freelance projects to corporate I've worked on.
Passionate about programming since age 16, I continuously expand my knowledge through real-world projects, freelancing, and open-source contributions. I'm known for being innovative, dedicated, and detail-oriented, thriving in roles that involve development, leadership and project management.
My programming journey started when I was running a Minecraft server at 16 — that’s where I first got curious about how systems work and how to customize them. I later took the TVL-ICT track in senior high at Vicente Madrigal Integrated School, where I was awarded Best in ICT.
In 2020, I began freelancing and developed both desktop and web-based systems. Some of the projects I delivered include an Employee Management System for the Philippine Air Force (HSSG) and a Student Internship System for the University of Rizal System.
I also completed my internship as a Backend Developer at Bapplware Technologies, Inc., where I built RESTful APIs using PHP Symfony. I implemented timestamps, soft deletes, exception handling, and PHPUnit tests to help keep the codebase clean, reliable, and maintainable.
In June 2025, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology (BSIT) at the University of Rizal System – Binangonan. I held leadership roles in three campus organizations, including serving as President of the BSIT Students’ League. Also, our capstone project, MMC MIS, was awarded Best Software Developmental Study during the URS Binangonan 18th Research Congress.
Today, I work as a Software Engineer, building web-based systems with the TALL Stack (Tailwind, AlpineJS, Laravel, Livewire) and FilamentPHP, and maintaining CI/CD workflows (build, test, deploy) to ensure reliable system releases. I also take on freelance work and stay active in tech communities like DevCon Manila and StudevPH to keep growing as a developer and leader.
