About Me

Get to know me better

Hi! I'm John Benedict Bongcac, a passionate Computer Science student at the University of Mindanao, Davao City. I thrive on building innovative solutions and exploring the intersection of software development and emerging technologies.

My journey in tech has led me through various domains—from developing full-stack web applications with React and Firebase, to diving into computer vision projects using Python and machine learning models. I believe in continuous learning and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with code.

Currently serving as the Technicals Lead at ENIGMA, I lead initiatives to foster tech culture among students while working on exciting projects that solve real-world problems. When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies or collaborating with fellow developers.
