Social Portfolio
My personal portfolio, built around the feel of a social profile. It brings together projects, quick updates, longer write-ups, and an AI assistant that helps visitors explore my work through conversation. I wanted the site itself to show how I build, not just display the finished projects.
BetterBacoor
A place to find Bacoor services, requirements, and local information before heading to a government office. An unofficial, community-run guide for residents.
PULSE
My college capstone project: a community mobile app that brings announcements, local buying and selling, volunteer activities, and community reports into one place.

I built BetterBacoor, inspired by BetterGov.ph and the BetterLGU community. I wanted to make it easier to find what you need before visiting a government office in Bacoor. It brings service requirements, office contacts, and official links into one place. It's an unofficial, community-run guide and it's open source. You can find the website and code in the project below.

View project Hot take: The best portfolio is one that doesn't look like a portfolio. Show your thinking, your process, and your personality, not just polished final screenshots.
I'm building my own portfolio to showcase my projects and share what I'm learning. I wanted it to feel a bit more like me, so I went with a social media style. There will be posts, project updates, and blogs about my experience. A place where I can share the work and the things that happen along the way. I'm also making it open source so others can use it too.
Just automated something I used to do manually I've been managing LMS servers for clients, and every time we provision a new one, it meant SSH-ing in, editing config files, updating databases, restarting services... the same steps every single time. This week I finally tried Ansible for the first time. One playbook. One command. Done. Still a lot to learn, but this is a huge step up from manual configs.

About
I'm Ronan, an IT graduate based in the Philippines. At Seaversity, I look after Linux servers and Moodle environments, and write scripts to make repetitive work a little easier.
Outside that work, I build web and mobile applications, often around everyday needs in local communities and small businesses. I'm also learning more about cloud infrastructure and DevOps. This site is a place to share what I'm building and learning along the way.
