Hello, I’m Manuel Buitizon. I’m passionate about software development and engineering. I enjoy building things and care about the work I put out into the world. I started programming in 2015, teaching myself Luau on Roblox’s game engine. From there, I spent years exploring different areas of development, mainly game development, experimenting with engines, tools, and even creating art and audio for my projects. During that time, many of my projects were left unfinished due to scope creep and lack of discipline. I often aimed too big for a solo developer, which made it hard to finish ideas. However, those experiences taught me the importance of planning, focus, and maintainability.

This is a passion project that I registered as an actual business mainly for tax reasons, to record expenses properly, and with the long-term goal of generating revenue in the future. So far it has mostly been in development. The demo link points to the business's site.

Built the core product for a Valentine’s Day virtual love letter website template featuring protected content and private pages, intended for couples or anyone creating something for someone they admire who wants a more personal and polished experience than a simple static page. The demo is a video walkthrough of the product.

Graduated from RRC Polytech in 2026.
Jan 2026 - Apr 2026
Worked on a team-based software project during my final term, building a real product with Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, and Leaflet. It was the most valuable term of my time at RRC because it pushed both my technical and collaboration skills through a larger, team-driven project.
