    title: Founder
    role: Founder
    bio: Hello world! My name is John and I'm the CTO of Pangea.app. I discovered my passion for coding through attending hackathons while in college (github.com/jtambunt). I graduated from Brown with an Applied Mathematics degree. I'm dedicated to creating serious value in the world because I was fortunately given every opportunity to succeed by my family. This is what motivates me. My parents came to the US from the Philippines with nothing to their names and were able to actualize the American Dream.
