WORK EXPERIENCE
Achorn International/Manila Typesetting Co.
DARWIN LOPENA
PUBLISHING SPECIALIST
WEB APPLICATIONS DEVELOPER
ABOUT
I’ve been in the print publishing
industry for more than a decade now
and half of it was developing ebooks
for different platforms.
I started as a 3B2 typesetter (xml first)
also tried QuarkXpress but fell in love
with InDesign. I learned graphic design
along the way and became proficient
with Photoshop and Illustrator.
Developing ebooks sharpened my
skills in html, css, and javascript which
gave me an opportunity to become a
front end web developer. In 2014
I started learning to program in python
and php which gave me the chance to
become a backend web developer at
the same time.
In 2017 I began programming in
nodejs.
