Hello there, I’m Jan Michael Yap and Michael Yap Photography is my personal website. I’m a web developer based in Manila, Philippines working as a Website Administrator. This site is outlet to post my Portfolio, traveling experiences, show of projects I’ve been working on and my playground.

 

After studying BS in Information Technology, I progressed in my career and I finally ended up working in Makati, specializing in CMS Customization using WordPress & Joomla, PHP, etc. I also do web designing using XHTML, HTML5, CSS 3, JavaScript and Flash.

 

The odd times when I am not tethered to my PC, I love playing guitar and piano, listening to music, going to the cinema for 3D movies, and learning digital Photography.

 

Feel free to contact me if you need my help and I will get back to you as quickly as possible. Currently, I am available for freelance work.
