Web Developer | Laravel - .Net - React - Vue
Misamis Oriental, Cagayan de Oro, Philippines
Hi, I’m John Vincent Amba, a Senior Full Stack Web Developer from the Philippines with over 8 years of experience building web applications, CMS sites, and e-commerce stores. I have a degree in Information Technology, majoring in Multimedia Systems, from Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology. I work mainly with Laravel, React, Vue, and ASP.NET Core, and I also build with WordPress, Shopify, and Duda. Most recently at Wellgineering, I built and maintained parts of Legend, a healthcare care coordination platform, and wrote more than 300 automated Playwright regression tests for it. Earlier, I built Moneycache, a point-of-sale system for small retailers, and Easyamends, a design proofing platform for agencies. I also led the build of the Amrap Music Catalog for the Australian Music Board, and I moved a WooCommerce store to Shopify in under two weeks. At Logicbase Interactive, I mentored two groups of junior developers and interns, and over half of them went on to full-time roles. I’ve done most of my work remotely, I communicate clearly, and I care about shipping reliable work on time.
