Hello, my name is

LAKAN SANTOS.

Building pixels to reality.

I am a web developer specializing in Front-end Development, now expanding into full-stack and backend development. Currently interested in AI Automation and improving workflows with modern web technologies.

About me

Hello, I am Lakan, I have 3+ years of experience of solving real-world problems in web development with various industries such as e-commerce, certification and AI. My interest in web development started in 2022 when I was trying to create a customize listing application to list things I want to buy. Then I discovered that I really want to learn web development and started learning JavaScript.

Here's a list of technologies I've been using recently:

ReactJS
Typescript
Javascript
NextJS
TailwindCSS
Supabase
NodeJS
MongoDB
