Phone first
Most people will find you on mobile data, standing outside. The site loads fast and works with one thumb.
Easy to find
Your hours, location and number show up where people already search, not buried in a Facebook post.
Made nearby
You can meet the person who built it, and changing a price is one message away.
I'm a Computer Science student and web designer from Metro Manila. I build simple, fast websites for the shops, eateries and services I walk past every day.
I started because so many good places near me are hard to find online, or only have a Facebook page that's hard to search. I've built a full Android app and a web app from database to screen, so a menu, a map and a contact button are well within reach. No agency, no long contracts. Just someone nearby who answers your messages.

No tech talk. This is what working with me looks like, from your first message to a live site.
Message me on Messenger or let's meet in person. We talk about your business, your customers and what the site should do. It's free, and there's no commitment.
I send you a simple plan: which pages, which design style, the price and the date it'll be ready. No surprise fees later.
You get a working preview link to open on your phone and show your family or staff. Tell me what to change, and I'll fix it. Your package's rounds of changes are included.
I put the site online, connect your domain and set up Google Maps, so customers can find you and message you in one tap.
Need a new price, photo or holiday hours? On the Upkeep plan, send me a message and I'll update it. I usually reply the same day.

ANDROID APP
A map of grocery prices reported by the community. It shows where an item is cheapest nearby, checks it against the DTI suggested retail price, and turns a monthly shopping list into a budget priced at the nearest cheapest store.
Sole developer: database, security rules, and every screen.
WEB APP · THESIS
A skills assessment that scores each learner with a composite algorithm, finds their weak topics, and gives AI feedback on what to study next. It installs on phones as a web app.
Thesis project.
PRODUCT IDEATION · COLLABORATION
SM Life is the HR app SM employees use, and version 4.0 is a major upgrade. I joined the concept discussions and suggested ideas on the user experience, engagement features, and how employee programs and internal surveys should be organised.
Remote product ideation contributor, 2025, helping shape the user experience and features of the upgrade.

GCash, bank transfer or PayPal. A down payment is required before I start, and your quote shows the exact amount.
One to three weeks on average, depending on how many pages and features you need. Your quote includes the date it'll be ready.
Your domain (your .com or .ph address) is registered in your name, so it's always yours. The website itself stays with me, and I host it while you're on the Upkeep plan. If you ever want to stop, you can take the site over for a one-time transfer fee: I hand over all the files and help you move it, and from then on the hosting costs are yours.
After launch, I make all the changes for you through the Upkeep plan: prices, photos, menus and hours. Before launch, your package's rounds of changes are included.
