About Me
whoami
Hello world! My name is Elmer Balbin Jr. and I am a web developer from the Philippines. I have been building and managing websites for a number of years — grazing the fields of design, full stack coding, and dev operations (DevOps).
When I'm not working or studying, I like to play games on my Switch, binge-watch Netflix, or look into what other developers are building.▮
