Computer Science student at Saint Louis University in Baguio, Philippines.
I build browser extensions, backend APIs, and local-first developer tools.
I like shipping practical software, especially tools that automate annoying workflows, improve privacy, or make everyday systems more reliable.
- Backend development with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, SQL, and PostgreSQL
- Browser extension development with JavaScript, Manifest V3, content scripts, Chrome APIs, and browser storage
- Local-first tools for privacy, automation, diagnostics, and Windows developer workflows
- Testing and quality practices with Playwright, pytest, ruff, validation, and structured debugging
MIT-licensed Manifest V3 privacy controls for supported Seen, Typing, and Story View signals on Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger web. Ghostify has 4,000+ users listed on the Chrome Web Store and is also published through Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Its privacy controls run in the browser; the popup may fetch a public, display-only verification status.
What I built:
- Published a Manifest V3 extension with 4,000+ users listed on the Chrome Web Store and a Microsoft Edge Add-ons listing
- Built in-browser privacy controls that require no Ghostify account or social-media password
- Implemented content scripts and declarative network rules for supported social platforms
- Added browser-local settings storage for per-feature controls
- Added regression, packaging, and release checks for Chromium and Firefox targets
- Built and deployed a public landing page for the extension
