Hi, I'mRiyana
I make things on the internet, read fiction books, and occasionally have something to say about both.

Notes on books, stories, fiction, and anything that tickles my fancy. Reading, thinking, and writing in defiance of going quiet.
About Me
I'm Riyana, a web tinkerer from the Philippines. I have 5+ years of professional experience building modern web apps and e-commerce platforms across the frontend and backend. I specialize in Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js. I have worked with software and tools across headless and composable commerce ecosystems.
I spend my leisure time reading science fiction and fantasy, thinking about stories, and making little corners of the internet for myself. These days, I'm occupied with exploring spaces around the edges of the web: personal publishing, independent websites, writing, and making things for the joy of it.
