Kenneth Buenavista

Frontend engineer based in Philippines with 10 years of experience building and maintaining production web applications. I focus on React, Next.js, and TypeScript — from translating UI/UX into responsive interfaces to shaping frontend architecture that stays clear as products scale.

My work spans the full frontend process: reusable component systems, REST API integration, debugging complex issues, and improving performance and maintainability. I care about how an application feels to use, how the codebase holds up as a project grows, and how frontend decisions connect with design, backend, and product requirements.

My path started in 2016 at 98Labs as a QA intern, where HTML, CSS, and JavaScript first clicked. I grew into a frontend role there, then spent years shipping and supporting large products — from Manulife ID at Tata Consultancy Services to Cebu Pacific's OmniX experience at Collabera Digital.

Since then I've focused on multi-theme, multi-market online gaming platforms across Southeast Asia, including Game99, Mansion88, and now WOWGames v2 — which I'm rebuilding from scratch as the sole frontend developer at Webzoid System Solutions Corporation, after the original Taiwanese team's codebase was not shared.

Selected work includes Manulife ID, Cebu Pacific Air, Game99, Mansion88, Career Break, and WOWGames.

In 2019 I attended NG-MY 2019 in Sunway University, Malaysia — the first Angular conference in Southeast Asia — which deepened my interest in modern frontend architecture and the wider JavaScript community.

Outside of shipping features, I care about readable architecture, thoughtful motion, and experiences that feel fast on every device. I'm always interested in challenging products, strong teams, and web experiences that are both technically solid and enjoyable to use. I create beautiful websites your users will love.
