About
I love building apps that people actually use. Most of the work sits between a good idea and a release that actually works — even when the internet drops or someone does something I didn't expect.
I'm based in the Philippines and work with remote startup and product teams on web and mobile apps, design systems, and internal tools. On my own time I build and maintain a couple of my own apps, which taught me how much of the work starts after launch.

Work Highlights
A selection of web and mobile products where I owned implementation, collaborated closely with product teams, or carried an idea through to a working release.
Founder and Full-Stack Developer of a multi-tenant community platform for Philippine barangays. Built the resident mobile app and admin dashboard, including role-based content, announcements, schedules, push notifications, account workflows, and S3-backed public resources.
Founder and Full-Stack Developer of a private mobile memorial app that keeps a family's remembrance in one shared space. Built the family mobile experience and GraphQL API, including moderated tributes, photo and video galleries, per-memorial roles, remembrance-date reminders, and store-billed access passes — all delivered through an AI-augmented development workflow. Currently in beta with in-app purchases live on Google Play; Apple support is coming soon.
Built and deployed a custom WordPress portfolio for a model, DJ, and actress, with editable content designed to showcase her work and career.
Research & Development
Personal builds where I'm the only user — a place to try new stacks, tools, patterns in practice.
Built a private frontend knowledge base for boilerplates, notes, issue tracking, and playground references, with Markdown authoring and AI-assisted content support.
Built a multi-tenant booking platform with role-based access control that lets service businesses set up a branded booking page, publish services, and collect custom intake questions before appointments. Includes admin and super-admin access levels, an approval flow for new admin accounts, short-lived signup links for onboarding, and a calendar view for scheduling.
Built a full-stack commerce product across web and mobile in an Nx monorepo, including payments, email, product APIs, and an in-app assistant.
