Hello — I'm Kerneil, and most people call me Skie.
I finished my BS in Information Technology at St. Michael's College of Iligan Inc. in 2026, but I'd already been writing production code
for four years by then. In 2022 I started PandaAuth, an authentication and licensing platform, mostly to see whether I could take
something from an empty repository all the way to a paying user. It's still running today, and I still maintain it.
Running it alone meant learning the whole pipeline: the Node.js API, the MongoDB schema, the Nginx reverse proxy, the Linux box it
all sits on — and, once real people depended on it, the testing. That's where the QA side of my work started. There was no test
team to hand a release to, so I built the habit myself: a Postman collection per endpoint, curl for the ugly edge cases, and Fiddler
to watch and replay what actually crosses the wire. Two years on, I still run that pass before every deploy.
My internship at Eversoft IT Solution put those habits on a team. I rebuilt the backend of a clinic web application in Django —
patient records, appointments, and clinical workflows — then added LLM-generated notes and real-time speech-to-text so the staff
spent less of their day typing. Working with patient data made access control and encryption non-negotiable, and that shaped how I
approach every backend since.
Alongside that I build in PHP — a point of sale system and an inventory management system, both in Laravel on a XAMPP stack. Business
software is unforgiving in a useful way: the stock balance either reconciles or it doesn't, and the receipt either prints or the
cashier is stuck. That kind of work is where I learned to check my own edge cases.
On the frontend I work in React and plain JavaScript, and I care about the small things: keyboard focus, sensible empty states,
layouts that hold together on a cheap phone. I'm looking for a web or software developer role where I can own features end to end and keep raising the
bar on the code around me.
