Juanito Lansangan · Full Stack Software Engineer
Apps get the spotlight. I build what powers them.
Sixteen years of shipping Laravel APIs, Vue & Nuxt frontends, and AWS infrastructure — the dependable layer behind apps people use every day.
Seven products,
live in production.
Consumer apps built at Appetiser Apps. My part is the layer you don't see: the Laravel API each one runs on, the AWS infrastructure underneath, and — where the product lives on the web — the Nuxt frontend too.

System Developer · City of San Fernando Water District
Where it started: Java systems for inventory, procurement, property management and job tracking at a water utility.
The person
behind the endpoints.
I'm Juan — a full stack engineer who likes owning a product from the first migration to the production deploy. I started in Java, building procurement and inventory systems for my hometown's water utility, and moved through agency CMS work, SaaS platforms, e-commerce and an EV charging network before settling into what I do best: backends for consumer apps.
I design systems from scratch — the data model, the API, the infrastructure. I work comfortably inside big legacy codebases, and keep learning whatever the product needs next — most recently Filament. Agentic coding tools like Claude Code are part of my daily workflow: I use them to move faster while keeping the architecture decisions and code review firmly in my hands.
Based in San Fernando, Pampanga, and working remotely with product teams across Australia and New Zealand — same-day overlap with Melbourne hours, async by default, and one email away.
