A little about who I am

I'm Nikka, a Filipino software developer with a lot going on. This blog is where I write about the things I want to remember and the things I think might help someone else. I'm trying to live life intentionally and I want to put out something positive into the world. Cancer, code, money, travel, and the slow work of building a life that actually fits.
