Hi! I'm
Meryll Tiangco
I'm a Front-End Developer with 8+ years of experience turning design ideas into responsive, user-friendly websites. React has been my go-to since 2016, but I've also worked with Angular, jQuery, and plain old JavaScript. When I'm not coding, you'll usually find me playing cozy video games or hanging out with my four cats and dog.
