About John Michael Panizales, Front-End Developer in General Santos City, Philippines

Front-end developer based in General Santos City, Philippines. Currently a Front-End Developer at Realty ONE Group Philippines — shaping the user experience of the company's internal brokerage platform with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.

I graduated from STI College of General Santos with a BS in Information Technology, finishing with a 1.58 GWA and the Best Capstone Award. My path into code started earlier — TVL-Programming during Senior High School at ACLC College.

Outside of work, I built GenSan Transport — a free tool for tricycle fares and bus routes across the city, featured in the Daily Tribune for tackling tricycle overcharging.
