About Me

Hey there! I'm Maiko Robles (you can call me Maiko — it's a nickname I use for security and peace of mind 😌). I'm a frontend developer with over 3 years of experience, passionate about building fast, user-friendly websites using Next.js, React.js, TypeScript, and Node.js. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, majoring in Web Development, which means this isn't just a job for me — it's my responsibility to continuously learn and adapt. I'm not bound to just React or Next.js — I embrace new frameworks, languages, and tools as the field evolves. Web development is always changing, and I'm here for the ride. Let's build something awesome together!

Profile

The Ongoing Adventure

My journey as a web developer has been anything but linear. I started by building static websites, teaching myself the basics and slowly expanding into full-stack solutions. Along the way, I learned to adapt wherever I was. From being a web developer trainee to freelancing for small businesses, I grabbed every opportunity to grow.

I once worked as a graphic designer for a hotel, but because I was the “IT guy,” I gradually took on more responsibilities — from fixing networks to managing websites, and even stepping into sales and marketing when needed. For three years, I evolved with the role, wearing many hats and learning everything I could.

Just as the hotel began focusing more on digital efforts, COVID-19 hit. They wanted to retain the team, but the reality of the situation called for difficult decisions. I, along with others, was let go — but not without compassion. They gave what they could and made it clear: "When the lockdowns are over, our doors will always be open to you." I understood, and I was grateful.

After that, I bounced around a few more freelance jobs, building websites for clients in different industries. Eventually, I was found by my current company, Prosperna, where I've been honing my craft for over 3 years and 7 months and counting.

Prosperna Team

I'm a frontend developer who's absolutely obsessed with Next.js and React.js. I also enjoy working with TypeScript, Node.js, and diving deep into web performance optimization. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Major in Web Development, and that means I see it as my duty to never stay boxed in. It's not just about React or Next.js — I believe in always learning new frameworks, tools, and languages as the industry evolves.

At the end of the day, I love turning complex ideas into simple, user-friendly interfaces — and I'm always excited to build something awesome with great people.
