Junell Emil N. Vista
Web developer · UI/UX designer · Ran Online developer
I build web products and the interfaces around them, and I have spent the last five years running Ran Online servers as live products.
Designer-developer working across front-end web development, UI/UX, and brand design. Most of what I ship goes out under my own name through PointX Creations, where I take a product from the first layout through to deployment and the support that follows.
Currently based in Deira, Dubai.

01 — about
I started in web development and then stopped around 2020, which on a CV looks like a gap. It was not. Those years went into Ran Online — building and operating private servers as products with real players, real uptime expectations, and real consequences when something broke at two in the morning.
That work is closer to product engineering than it sounds. A server is a C++ and C# codebase you maintain in Visual Studio, a SQL Server database holding every player's progress, a VPS with DNS and launcher services that has to stay reachable, a website and dashboard players actually use, a brand, and a support channel. I did all of it, usually alone, across more than twenty projects.
In 2025 I came back to modern web development properly — Next.js, React, component systems, deployment pipelines — and brought the operational habits with me. I now work on both: client and product web builds like White Aura Beauty Academy, and the Ran Online projects that are still running.
I run this as PointX Creations. It is one person, which I would rather say plainly than dress up: design, build, deploy, and support, end to end.
