hiii, i'm joshua but you can call me snowi 🍀

_{front-end developer & creative web designer  ·  Davao del Sur, Philippines}

i'm finishing my B.S. in Information Technology at Davao del Sur State College, and i spend most of my time in that weird overlap between "can you build this" and "can you make it not look like a school project." turns out i can usually do both, which is how i ended up building responsive web and mobile experiences and being my org's go-to poster designer at the same time.

my capstone app listens for noise. i like to think that's basically what i do for a living too — take something messy and turn it into something clean, working, and kind of nice to look at. 🎧

• building DSS-Connectify, a React Native app for my campus community
• serving on the technical committee of DSSC Junior Rotaract, making graphics for donation drives and environmental campaigns
• designing miwi, a cozy, private mood-sharing app for small friend circles
• still the person my org DMs at 11pm for "just one small poster 🙏"

LSMS — Laboratory Science Management System — Next.js · Node.js · PostgreSQL a full-stack web app for borrowing and tracking university lab equipment. role-based dashboards for super admin, admin, and students, with forms, modals, alerts, and an analytics overview. frontend and APIs are split across Vercel and Render.

The Danny — Three.js · interactive 3D an explorable 3D memorial world, made in loving memory of my late father. custom character movement, a dynamic camera, ambient lighting, sound design, and a little mini-game, all built to feel peaceful and fast. 🕊️

Iwons — beginner-friendly coding playground a practice platform that makes learning to code feel approachable. real-time code evaluation, zero-friction setup, and progress saved locally, so no invasive tracking and no central database.

Aster (formerly Roulette ni snowi) — React · TypeScript a project challenge generator that hands you a brand direction and a 7-day build challenge, from identity concept to deployed site. made for beating creative block.

Ovie Studio — concept portfolio a fictional architecture studio site with considered typography, a warm palette, fluid parallax, smooth page transitions, cursor-following labels, and full reduced-motion support.

DSS-Confessions — React · Node.js · Supabase a confessions site for my school community — 40+ active users within the first few weeks. behind the cute exterior: xss filtering, rate limiting, row-level security, and automated social card image generation, because "just a fun site" still needs to hold up.

DSS-Connectify — React Native, in progress a social app built for and with my campus, android-first, with a modular frontend architecture designed around the way students actually scroll and network.

Snuzz — Capstone, Native Android (Kotlin) a noise-detection app that listens through the device mic in real time, processes the acoustic signal, and syncs everything through Firebase, with reactive warning alarms. solo project, from the architecture up.

miwi — app concept, in development 🌿 a private mood-sharing app for small friend circles (3–10 people): daily vibe check-ins instead of a feed to perform for. mood-tagged posts, soft private reactions instead of like counts, story rings that quietly go dark if you miss a day, and zero algorithm, ever. currently in the design phase.

i don't hand designs off to "someone else who builds it" — i'm both people, so nothing gets lost between the mockup and the merge.
