About Tristan.

The person at the desk

A little curious.
Always building.

I’m Tristan, a software developer based in Pampanga, Philippines.

I’ve always liked being around computers, from figuring out how things work to gaming. Studying Computer Science turned that curiosity into building software.

I’m especially drawn to apps that take repetitive tasks off people’s hands. I like making something useful that gives them a little more time back.

How I got here

Curiosity became a craft.

I started with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in senior high school, taking the TVL strand in ICT. Pursuing Computer Science took me further into Python, algorithms, machine learning, and the thinking behind useful software.

I also worked full time while studying. A role that started in marketing gradually moved toward automation and software development, including internal tools such as HashWash and LeadClean. As of September 2026, that adds up to five years of industry experience across those roles.

Away from the keyboard

Usually on two wheels.
Or in another world.

Motorcycles, Valorant, and Minecraft are a few of my favorite ways to spend time. Computers have always been part of my life; I still enjoy figuring out how things work.
