A bit about me, my work, and what I'm into.

I'm Francis Taino — a software engineer based in Manila. Currently building product at Mango and working on Hexis on the side. I like small, focused tools and writing clean code.
Outside of work I'm probably reading, lifting, or tinkering with whatever side project caught my interest that week.
