ABOUT
I turn complex requirements into scalable, user-friendly applications. Combining engineering leadership with a designer's attention to detail.
I'm Fernan Eliel Principe, an innovative Software Engineer and UI/UX Designer with more than 14 years of experience in web and mobile development. I build high-performance applications that balance business goals, technical reliability, and a clear user experience.
My dad coined “Niel” by combining the final n from Fernan with the ending iel from Eliel. A simple name with a personal story.
Nice to meet you!
I collaborate closely with stakeholders and development teams, translating product needs into practical, maintainable solutions from early discovery through delivery.
My work spans IoT, logistics, health, fitness, and emergency reporting—from React and Next.js products to React Native, Swift, and Objective-C mobile applications.
Based in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines. I work with TypeScript, React, Next.js, React Native, Expo, Firebase, Swift, Objective-C, Figma, and Git to deliver thoughtful, efficient products.
