I'm Melchor Bungalso — a software engineer with over 15 years of experience across web and mobile application development, automation scripts, and internal tooling.
JavaScript/Node.js is my main stack across the full spectrum, but I operate as a language-agnostic engineer who adapts to whatever technology the project requires.
My recent work has focused mostly on backend — some of the services behind Maya and Metrobank.
