I build secure, scalable web applications that solve complex data problems. With a strong foundation in backend architecture and a focus on high-performance delivery, I engineer enterprise-grade solutions across Fintech, GovTech, and modern AI platforms.

As a consistently high-performing Computer Science student (Dean's Lister, 1.30 GPA), I bridge the gap between technical execution and project management. I have successfully directed cross-functional agile teams to launch campus-wide platforms on strict deadlines, and I am committed to continuous learning in Application Security and building robust software that scales.

I design resilient systems using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles. My focus is on writing clean, strict PHPStan-compliant code that ensures reliable application logic, predictable behavior, and optimal database performance.

• Backend Engineering: Laravel (Livewire, Filament), PHP, Python, FastAPI, Node.js
• Frontend Ecosystem: Vue.js, React, Tailwind CSS (TALL Stack), HTML5, CSS3
• Databases & Tools: MySQL, MariaDB, Docker, Git, Postman, Linux, Jira
• Architecture & Security: Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Strict Type-Safety, RBAC, MFA, Secure Integrations

MaraLabs, Inc. | Junior Developer (Sep 2025 – Apr 2026)

• Platform Engineering: Engineered distinct Laravel-based platforms including DigiVAT, Rotary, and Aksyon-Sentral, delivering tax workflows, approval systems, and incident management modules that reduced internal processing time by ~35%.
• Fintech Integration: Optimized payment gateway solutions across platforms like AksyonMart and Moxipay using PayFusion and YoMoney APIs, increasing checkout success rates by ~22% and improving payment response times by ~18%.
• Security & Architecture: Strengthened RBAC and backend workflows for centralized systems, improving admin task completion speed by ~40% and lowering recurring defects by ~28%.

Independent Software Developer (Dec 2024 – Jun 2025)

• Database Optimization: Architected matrix-based distributor hierarchy systems for SeaCrest Wellness Inc., optimizing database structures and Laravel Filament workflows to improve SQL query response times by ~40%.
• GovTech Solutions: Implemented secure approval workflows and records modules for the Anti-Terrorism Council Philippines (ATC-Portal) using Laravel and Vue.js, reducing manual processing steps by ~30% and strictly isolating sensitive data.

• TASYO AI Marketplace System (AIMS): Architected a centralized AI marketplace within the TASYO Controller ecosystem. Implemented custom SSO, secure FastAPI integrations, and deployment workflows that reduced integration defects by ~25% using Laravel, Python, and DDD.
• NDDU Sanction System (Project Manager / Lead Dev): Directed a cross-functional agile team to launch a campus-wide disciplinary platform for 4,000+ students. Leveraged Laravel, Livewire, and Filament to centralize records, reducing lookup time by ~60% and enabling on-time deployment within a strict ~2-month deadline.

• Predictability Over Cleverness: I avoid primitive obsession by utilizing type-safe Enum comparisons, flat logic structures, and clear guard clauses to ensure predictable and readable execution.
• Security by Default: I strictly enforce least-privilege access, robust input validation, and defensive programming methodologies to mitigate risk across all endpoints.
• Pragmatic Scaling: I apply YAGNI consistently—implementing what current requirements demand while laying modular, decoupled groundwork for future enterprise scalability.

I am available for high-value independent development contracts. Let's discuss clean architecture, strictly-typed integrations, or building your next highly available system.
