I'm Joe Ed Mialen — a Professional Licensed Educator,
a visual artist at heart, and an accidental programmer.
My first passion was Visual Arts. Painting with a brush, sketching on paper, then eventually digital design and Photoshop —
that's where I started. But then real work arrived: reports, computations,
repetitive tasks stacking up on a teacher's desk every single day.
Here's the truth: I was too lazy to do it manually. So I automated it.
It was 2014 when it all began — that one instinct,
"there must be a faster way", pulled me into
Excel formulas, then VBA, then PHP, SQL, Python, JavaScript, and beyond.
Laziness, it turns out, is a surprisingly effective teacher.
Now I build tools that save other people from the same repetitive grind —
starting with TSS, a free desktop app for DepEd teachers.

Artist Turned Automator
Before any line of code, there was a paintbrush. Traditional painting, drawing, then digital — Photoshop, computer graphics. The eye for design never left, it just found a new canvas: the screen.
