Dorine Mae Biag

Welcome!

I’m a senior Web Developer specializing in custom WordPress development, clean code, and scalable design systems. I transform Figma designs into fully responsive websites, implement on-page SEO strategies, and optimize site performance for speed and usability.

I treat every project as a personal achievement—especially when I’m given peace of mind during the development process, which helps me stay focused and productive. I also utilize AI tools to stay organized, improve efficiency, and maintain high-quality output across all stages of development.

Enjoy exploring!

Current life goals

Right now, I’m saving up so I can travel overseas and finally see more of the world. Japan is at the top of my list, and I’d also love to visit a place like Iceland where I can experience the Northern Lights — and maybe even the Southern Lights in New Zealand someday. I also hope to get my own condominium: a peaceful space to call home with my pets. On the side, I’m slowly working toward completing my collection of musical instruments. It feels good that 2025 finally feels like its own year, full of possibility — not like we’re stuck in 2020 anymore.

Hobbies

I primarily play the drums and was part of a local amateur band during my college years. These days, I explore various instruments and genres, occasionally uploading my music to SoundCloud. My current favorite instrument is the Suzuki Omnichord OM-108, which has opened up new creative possibilities for me.

As someone who enjoys the comfort of home with my six cats and one dog, I spend my free time playing video games. I also share my gameplay experiences on my YouTube channel, where I upload gaming content (very rarely lol).

It’s a long story, but I’ve developed a passion for repairing household appliances, computers, phones, and other gadgets. I also enjoy integrating LEGO and Arduino projects purely out of curiosity and a love for experimentation.

I have a habit of tinkering with my motorcycle and car, often out of sheer curiosity. One of my most memorable experiences was fixing my in-laws’ car despite having no prior knowledge! With a bit of research (and the help of Google and ChatGPT), I successfully got it running again.

I built this website entirely with Elementor and a touch of custom JavaScript & CSS. This is one of my many random creations, and I enjoy making things like this when boredom strikes!

News:
Lately, I’ve been cooking up a Chrome extension that lets me DJ with YouTube videos, dropping beats with hotkeys!
