01. About Me

Hello! My name is Lance Morales and I enjoy creating things that make people's lives easier. My interest in programming started back in 2010 when I started playing GTA, Counter Strike and DOTA where I was inspired to create my own game someday.

Fast-forward to today, I'm a Software Engineer at Gemango with 2+ years of professional experience. I specialize in full-stack development using Laravel, Angular, and WordPress. At Gemango, I've worked on security vulnerability fixes, developed RESTful APIs, implemented PDF generation systems, and built highly customizable web applications. I also had the privilege to work at Accenture, a Fortune Global 500 company, as a Software Engineer Intern, and gained valuable QA experience at CocoTech Solutions.

I'm passionate about writing clean code following SOLID, DRY, and KISS principles. Here are the key technologies I've been working with recently:

  • Laravel
  • Angular
  • PHP
  • JavaScript (ES6+)
  • TypeScript
  • WordPress
  • MySQL
  • React
  • Next.js
