I'm a software engineer and startup founder based in Cebu City, building web and mobile products that are equal parts well-engineered and well-designed. Most developers can ship working code; fewer can ship working code that looks clean, feels intuitive, and saves the client hours of manual work every week. That intersection — solid engineering, thoughtful UI/UX, and automation that quietly does its job — is where I spend most of my time.
Over the past 2-3 years, I've built and shipped a range of products across mobile and web. A few I'm proud of:
Vita — a mobile Bible reading companion (React Native, TypeScript, Node) featuring Lumi, an animated candle character that keeps users coming back through streaks and progress tracking.
Alsa — a minimalist fitness tracker (TypeScript, React, Tailwind, Node) designed for people who want to stay consistent without the bloat of mainstream fitness apps.
Coffee Spill — a pixel-art themed study timer (React, Tailwind, Framer Motion) where your choice of drink, sugar level, and cup size shapes the length of your study session.
LocalEats PH — a hyper-local food discovery app (React Native, Node.js, MongoDB) connecting diners to hidden gems across the Visayas.
Running my own products has shaped how I approach client work too: I think about your project the way I think about my own — what makes users stick, what makes them leave, and where the small details quietly add up. I'm comfortable owning a project end-to-end or slotting into an existing team, and I write code other developers can read without cursing six months later.
What I can help with:
Full-stack web development (front-end and back-end)
Mobile app development with React Native
UI/UX design and implementation — wireframes, mockups, and production-ready interfaces
Workflow automation (Zapier, Make, n8n, custom scripts, API integrations)
Cleaning up messy codebases, fixing bugs others have given up on, and rebuilding clunky tools into something pleasant
Tech stack: React, React Native, Node.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, Firebase, MongoDB
What clients tend to appreciate working with me: I ask questions before I start typing, I give honest estimates, and I flag problems early instead of disappearing when something gets hard. As a founder myself, I understand budgets, deadlines, and the difference between "nice to have" and "this needs to ship Monday." English communication isn't a barrier, and I'm available during [PH hours with flexibility for US / AU clients — confirm what works for you].
If you've got a project that needs someone who can think through both the code and the user experience — or an existing system that needs to be faster, cleaner, or more automated — I'd be glad to talk it through. Send a message with what you're working on, and I'll let you know honestly whether I'm the right fit.
