Hi, I'm Ericson.
I'm a software engineer based in the Philippines. I'm currently a software engineer and software driven system owner at BruntWork, where I own a platform's business workflows and build backend systems and automation for healthcare and business operations. Before that I spent three years at Goodfrontend.dev building e-commerce sites for footwear and jewelry brands, and I started out as an intern at Symph.
Away from the keyboard, you'll find me at the gym, out on a run or a long walk, hiking up a mountain, or somewhere quiet with a book. I also love to travel, and I'm always planning the next place to see.

Testimonials
What the engineers, mentors, and managers I've worked with have to say about working with me.
I had the chance to work with Ericson on the Footwear website replatforming project, where they played a big role in building key features like the Product Detail Page, cart, payment flows, and accessibility improvements using React and Amplience for the content management system.
Beyond their solid technical skills, what really stood out was their positive attitude and genuine eagerness to learn. They were always willing to jump in, help out, and figure things out on the fly. Their work made a real difference to the project, and I'd be happy to work with them again anytime.
Christian Dulay Senior Software Engineer Goodfrontend.dev I have worked with Ericson, and I can say that he is a reliable software engineer. One of his strengths is his ability to contribute throughout the entire SDLC, from creating design prototypes in Figma to implementing frontend and backend solutions. He communicates well with the team, provides valuable suggestions and feedback, and is also open to receiving feedback from others.

His support, advice, and encouragement helped me grow professionally and personally. I'm grateful for the knowledge he shared, the opportunities he opened, and the genuine friendship he gave along the way. Working with him was a privilege, and his impact on my career will always be remembered.
Bill Zhedrick Gaspar Software Engineer Goodfrontend.dev Our Team enjoyed working with Ericson he was one of the most active interns I've worked with. I liked how open he was to learning new things and being transparent about the things he didn't knew. From an intern who is unfamiliar with the backend tech stack to an intern who onboards other interns on how to set up and help them with their blockers. I highly recommend Ericson because he's hard working, open to feedbacks, and willing to learn fresh ideas.
Bon Discaya Project Manager Symph, Inc. From the moment I joined the company, he played a significant role in helping our team navigate the Footwear Replatforming project. His expertise in React and JavaScript was invaluable, and he was always willing to share his knowledge and support others.
What impressed me most was his keen eye for design and attention to detail. He consistently looked beyond simply making features work, focusing on creating polished and thoughtful user experiences. He also has a genuine passion for technology, staying current with industry trends and continuously exploring new ideas and tools.
He is someone you can always rely on to deliver quality work, take ownership of challenges, and maintain a high level of professionalism. Any team would be fortunate to have him as both an engineer and a collaborator.

He isn't afraid to ask questions when clarity is needed and provides valuable input when prompted. His keen eye for design added real polish to our work, making him a dependable and insightful teammate.
Riyana Elizabeth Gueco Senior Software Engineer Goodfrontend.dev Ericson has improved so much since he first started. It was no wonder as he is always proactive, takes initiative and is always willing to learn. He takes notes of his mistakes and makes sure not to repeat it again and always takes accountability. He is also a fast-learner which made it easier for him to transition from one framework to another, or from frontend to backend tasks.
It was a proud moment mentoring Ericson as his growth is not only limited to his technical skills but also on how he interacts with the team. He has grown to communicate well and to not hesitate in helping out his teammates. Ericson will surely do well and will be an asset in every team he will join the future.
