About
I am Mark Anthony Llego, a freelance software developer with over eight years of experience in building robust fullstack applications. My journey began with remote work for an Israeli startup, where I contributed to developing a new mobile app and backend services. This experience sparked my passion for freelancing, which I now pursue full-time.
In web development, I specialize in using modern frameworks like React, Next.js, and Django to create high-performance, scalable web applications. I craft seamless user interfaces with Tailwind CSS and other frontend tools, while on the backend, I develop REST APIs and work with databases such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
My expertise extends beyond web development to machine learning, data science, and DevOps. I leverage tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS to build cloud-based solutions. To ensure reliable operation of production systems, I implement best practices including CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and log aggregation.
Continuous learning is a cornerstone of my professional approach. I stay current with the latest technologies through ongoing education, constantly seeking to enhance my skills and take on new challenges. My ability to quickly adapt to new languages and frameworks makes me a versatile engineer and effective problem solver.
Outside of work, I’m active on Twitter, where I stay informed about industry trends and engage in meaningful conversations. I use this platform not to amass followers, but to exchange ideas and connect with like-minded professionals.
My pursuit of knowledge extends to various media. I enjoy documentaries and science videos on YouTube and Netflix, participate in Reddit discussions, and engage with topics on LessWrong ranging from cognitive biases to artificial intelligence. These activities complement my professional interests and help me maintain a broad perspective.
For leisure, I’m an avid gamer, particularly fond of Ragnarok Online since 2004 and its mobile adaptation, Ragnarok Mobile: Eternal Love. This passion allows me to unwind and connect with a global community of players.
In my spare time, I manage over 30 WordPress blogs, writing anonymously on a wide range of topics. This creative outlet helps me hone my content creation and writing skills while exploring diverse subjects.
