Full-stack software engineer · Cebu, Philippines
available for work

 . 

For more than 7 years, I've partnered with startups and enterprise teams to design, build, and scale full-stack systems — though my real specialty is the backend, primarily in Golang and PHP. I've worked on products ranging from email-as-a-service platforms and banking integrations across Southeast Asia to healthcare and e-learning systems serving real users every day.

I'm happiest deep in the backend — creating reliable, high-performance services with clean, maintainable architectures. Whether I'm troubleshooting critical production issues, managing cloud deployments with Kubernetes and AWS, or designing extensible APIs, I aim to build software that scales and lasts. When a project needs it, I'll take it all the way to the frontend too.

Where I can help

From first architecture sketch to production deployment — these are the problems I specialize in solving.

01

Custom business systems

End-to-end platforms built around how your business actually works — booking systems, POS, EMR, inventory, and internal tools that replace spreadsheets and manual processes.

02

AI & workflow automation

Put repetitive operations on autopilot — AI-assisted pipelines, document parsing, and smart integrations that quietly save your team hours every week.

03

API & payment integrations

Reliable integrations with banks, payment providers, and third-party services — clean gRPC and REST contracts that other developers can build on without surprises.

04

Cloud deployment & reliability

Production-grade deployments on AWS and GCP with Kubernetes, monitoring with Grafana, and incident response — systems that stay fast, observable, and stable.

How I work

Discovery

We map the problem, constraints, and goals so the solution fits how you actually work.

02

Build

Iterative delivery with clean architecture, tests, and regular check-ins — no black boxes.

03
