Great products don't get built so much as sweated over — every layer.

Full-stack web and mobile, particular about everything from the database schema to the last pixel — plus a soldering iron for the weekends.

The person behind the code

I'm a full-stack developer from Cebu with 2+ years of experience shipping production software. I'm at home across the whole path of a product, from the database schema and API design down to the interaction details users actually feel.

I've shipped features across a portfolio of production apps at Symph, built and merged mobile work for Focus Bear, and take on freelance builds of my own.

Away from the editor I compete in robotics and tinker with hardware and embedded systems, the same curiosity that keeps the software work honest.

Mobile App Developer Intern

Focus Bear
  • Developed and merged 5+ features for the Focus Bear mobile app, improving user experience across iOS and Android
  • Identified and resolved bugs, wrote automated tests, and performed manual testing to ensure feature stability and reliability
032024 – Present·Cebu

Freelance Full-Stack Developer

Independent
  • Developing a DOH Lab Form Automation system for medical technologists with parallel processing of lab results across multiple departments driven by physician requests
  • Built PickASlot, a court booking system for a residential subdivision in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu with public availability browsing and admin-managed reservation confirmation, now in talks to expand to more courts under construction
  • Built BallRuns, a real-time pickup basketball app for a local ball club in Cebu with live player queues, host-managed teams, and instant score updates
042024 – Present·Cebu

Freelance Embedded / Hardware Developer

Independent
  • Designed the complete electronics and firmware for an automated medical glove-doffing system, commissioned by a group of students, driving an Arduino with a CNC shield to coordinate stepper motors, servos, and vacuum actuation for a hands-free sequence that grips, stretches, and peels the glove off the hand

Built overnight, because I needed it myself

Picklers is a community-run directory of every pickleball court in Cebu, not a booking platform, just the most accurate list of where to play and how to book, kept current by the players who actually show up.

Things I've built

Production web apps shipped to real users, and hardware I designed and fabricated end to end. Work that spans the browser and the physical world.

Automated Glove Doffing Device

Medical Device

Vacuum-assisted device that removes medical gloves with no hand contact, targeting the self-contamination that makes manual doffing a critical safety failure point. Built the prototype and ran 180 trials across glove sizes and wear conditions, meeting its 30% contamination-reduction target.

Advanced Line Follower

Autonomous Robot

My most recent and most refined line-following robot. I designed and fabricated everything myself: a custom 16-channel reflectance sensor board, the controller board, and a 3D-printed chassis. The dense sensor array reads the track at fine resolution for tight, confident cornering at speed.
