About me

I enjoy bringing ideas to life through code.

I'm Jhestin Digap, Jhest for short, a web developer from Antipolo City and a BS Computer Engineering graduate of the University of Rizal System. Years of photo editing gave me a feel for design principles, and that eye shapes every interface I build: clean, intuitive, and purposeful.

Today I work as a Technical Solutions Engineer at Rival (formerly SilkRoad Technology), supporting Fortune 500 clients' eForms and portals on a legacy enterprise stack. Outside of work, I build my own products with modern stacks, like Presyo, a costing tool that helps Filipino small businesses understand their costs and price smarter.

Outside of code

Music has always been my quiet escape, whether I'm on the guitar, bass, keys, or just drumming along to the rhythm. Outside of music, I enjoy getting lost in games, vibing to J-pop, and unwinding with anime.
