Abe Manangan II
For the past nine years, I have been building websites and web applications for businesses of all kinds.
I started through a government scholarship program where I passed a competitive exam and learned programming from the ground up. From there I worked my way up through full-stack development, WordPress, Laravel, API integrations, and AI-powered tools. I enjoy solving difficult problems and building solutions that are clean, reliable, and easy to maintain.
Working on projects that actually matter to people is something I have always wanted to do, and Blick Creative gives me that opportunity.
What I like about Blick is the focus on organisations that are doing good work. I am drawn to problems that seem impossible at first and challenges that push the limits of what technology can do, and building for not-for-profits while keeping accessibility at the core of everything is exactly that kind of work. It is not straightforward, it requires real thinking, and that is what makes it worth doing. That is the kind of work I am happy to be part of.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM.
FIGURING OUT WHAT WORKS IS THE BEST PART.
Ever since I was young I have been fiddling with things, taking them apart just to see how they work, breaking them, and trying to put them back together. That curiosity never really went away, it just moved into code. When I am not building something at work, I am usually playing guitar or singing. I have been writing my own songs since 2019 and have recently started putting them out for people to hear. Music and development are actually pretty similar to me because both are about finding the right combination until everything just works. At the end of the day I am a family man, and everything I do is with my family in mind. I always have a personal project running on the side and I get genuinely excited whenever a new technology opens up a better way to solve something.
