Greg Hermo
Software engineer in Laguna, PH
I build software the way I play tennis: pick one shot, put in the reps, get a little better every day. Today that means Laravel and React at ContactOut, and the health systems I’ve built with Ateneo since 2011.

A Pascal maze game, then four priorities
In high school I wrote a two-level game in Pascal and Turbo C: a maze with hidden obstacles and a boss fight against a dragon. I still learn fastest by building.
Faith
I strive for excellence, not for my own glory, but for the mission God has given me.
Family
A supportive husband and a present father: guiding, disciplining and playing with my kids.
Craft
I’d rather master one thing deeply than skim many. Execution shows the real problems.
Court
On the tennis court I chase the joy of levelling up: timing, consistency, good positioning.

My Low Back Ability journey (an honest review)
Four years after back surgery, I hurt my back again. Here is how the Low Back Ability program went for me: what helped, what I missed, and who I think it is for.
My back surgery story
Four years ago I had back surgery. Most back problems don't need it. I was one of the "lucky" few who did.
