Hey there, I'm

Richard Neil Ilagan

but most people just call me Carding.

Welcome to my personal nook on the internet!

I write about things I'm doing + learning here on this site.
I very much enjoy speaking about technology as well.

I'm an apps system architect and software engineer, specializing in containers, serverless, and front/backend web apps development.

I most often work on the cloud building prototypes, so I tend to go through a lot of new tech very regularly. (Currently: Rust, WebAssembly, and building stuff on ERC20 and ERC721).

Let's chat! You can find me on Github, Mastodon, and Twitter.
