As a highly experienced software developer, I have a proven track record of success in developing cutting-edge, cross-platform applications. One of my most notable achievements is the development of an Ecommerce application for both IOS and Android platforms using Flutter and the Dart programming language.

One of the key features of the application was its geolocation capabilities, which allowed users to easily detect registered stores and outlets in close proximity to their location. This feature was implemented using the Google Maps API, which allowed for real-time tracking of the user's location, and the display of nearby registered stores and outlets on the map.

As a highly skilled software developer, I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to showcase my skills and experience. One of my most notable achievements is the creation of a concept application for a stock market simulation app using the Laravel framework.

The goal of the application was to provide users with an interactive and engaging way to test the waters of the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSEi) by utilizing real-time stock quotes. To achieve this, I used PHP as the backend and VueJS on the front-end, to create an application that was both powerful and user-friendly.
