Software Developer at Aphex

Dale Larroder

I am currently a Software Developer at Aphex. I was previously a Jr. Backend Developer at Code and Theory Manila where I mostly used PHP to create back-end APIs for the front-ends to consume. Now I am more focused on JavaScript and the front-end side of things where I am using ReactJS to create beautiful and reusable user interfaces.
