Frontend Engineer

About

  • I'm Zydric Abel, a frontend-focused developer and BSIT student who builds interfaces where engineering rigor meets tactile design craft — from interactive developer tooling to multi-platform web and Android products.
  • I work primarily with TypeScript & React, Next.js & Astro, Tailwind CSS, Solid.js, and Kotlin & Spring Boot. I care deeply about the invisible details: snappy micro-interactions, keyboard-first workflows, and clean component architecture.
