Philosophy
About
I'm Julius Caesar F. Raagas — a developer who started in 2020 with tutorial hell and Stack Overflow deep dives, now building systems where AI is baked into the core, not just bolted on.
From internships to freelancing, I learned to adapt fast—taking on IoT projects, mobile apps, and technologies I'd never touched before. The chaos taught me I can learn anything on the fly. Now I'm shifting focus from syntax to system design, architecture, and engineering decisions that matter at scale.
I embrace AI-native development (call it vibe coding if you want). AI handles the "how," I focus on the "why" and "where." Currently leveling up in system architecture, design patterns, and building software that doesn't just work—it's designed well enough to explain why it works.
