HELLO, I’M MARK CARANDANG

I turn curiosity into code, and code into things that work — on a screen and beyond it.

Both sides
of the connection.

I’m Mark, a Computer Engineering student and software developer from the Philippines.

I’m interested in what happens where disciplines meet: a sensor talking to a dashboard, a backend making a complex workflow feel simple, or an AI integration helping someone understand what they see.

I also build responsive portfolio websites, frontend pages, and academic project interfaces. I care about clear layouts, useful interactions, and making technology easy to understand.

My toolkit extends to image processing with OpenCV, browser automation with Selenium, and hands-on work with Arduino, PC troubleshooting, and system setup.

03 / THE TOOLKIT

Different tools.
One curious mind.

From a useful idea to a considered interface.

04 / A WORK IN PROGRESS

Still learning.
Always building.

The thread running through it all:
understand a little more, build a little better.
