About Me

Hi! I’m Wern Ancheta. I’m a Web Developer from San Fernando City, La Union, Philippines. I love building things for the web and sharing the things that I’ve learned through writing. When I’m not coding or learning something new, I enjoy watching anime and playing video games.

Services Offered

Here are some of the services that I normally offer:

• Web Development – mainly PHP and its Frameworks (CodeIgniter, Laravel, Flight).
• System Analysis and Design – from requirements analysis, database design, to system architecture design.
  Note that this is what I do most of the time. But I also work with JavaScript (NodeJS), Ruby, and WordPress projects from time to time.
