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 and 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 to deployment and the support that follows.

Currently based in Deira, Dubai.

Player figures are approximate estimates from the servers I have operated, not audited numbers.

I started in web development, then stopped around 2020. On a CV that 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. It is 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, with Next.js, React, component systems and deployment pipelines, and brought the operational habits with me. I work on both now: client and product 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, support.

Ran Online network

PlayRan Network

Collaboration on an automated top-up workflow for Ran Online, backed by InstaPay. The integration replaces manual crediting, where a player sends a transfer and waits for an operator to apply it by hand.

Server network

Dekada Ran Online

Ongoing development across the Havoc chapter: the public launch site players arrive at, and a separate dashboard host where account operations live.
