Hi, I'm

Kent Michael Handumon

Full-Stack Software Engineer

I build reliable web and mobile applications end-to-end, focused on quality and reliability. I specialize in full-stack development, DevOps deployment, and blockchain integration.

01 · Who I am

About

I'm a software engineer with a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Central Philippine University. I have 5+ years of professional experience shipping full-stack products from web, mobile, to most recently, blockchain.

I started as a backend-leaning developer building REST APIs, moved into full ownership of frontend and mobile delivery (including an app shipped to the App Store), and specialized in DevOps deployment across AWS, Vercel, Railway, and Render. Testing has been part of that ownership throughout, from unit tests to end-to-end coverage with tools like Jest and Playwright.

Most recently I've been designing, developing, and creating smart contracts on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), connecting on-chain logic to production frontends.

I also make AI tools part of my everyday development workflow, using them to speed up implementation, explore approaches, and review code while staying accountable for the architecture, quality, and correctness of everything I ship through testing and code reviews.
