Experience

Where I've been building.

  1. Founder & Full-Stack Engineer · PaddleBag

    Aug 2026 — Present — Cebu City, Philippines (Remote)

    Solo-designed, built, and launched a production pickleball community platform, owning every layer: product, UX, schema, API, frontend, SEO, analytics, and monetization.

    • Ship and maintain a Next.js 16 / React 19 / TypeScript app on Supabase and PostgreSQL with versioned SQL migrations and continuous deployment.
    • Shut down a runaway infrastructure cost spike by tracing a request flood to a single network ASN and deploying targeted firewall rate limits.
    • Designed a cost-bounded data architecture that keeps origin compute flat as traffic grows.
    • Built the growth and retention stack end to end, including a cohort retention analysis that redirected the product roadmap.
  2. Software Engineer · Childcare Marketing (UK)

    Jun 2025 — Present — Remote (United Kingdom)

    Full-stack development on a client-facing CRM and operations platform.

    • Built core CRM features with data-fetching performance tuning and paginated directories for large data sets.
    • Developed an Operations Report module covering workload tracking, approval workflows, and unresponded-message detection.
    • Hardened the GoHighLevel CRM integration: OAuth token refresh, pagination, and error handling.
    • Implemented pg-boss background workers and Sentry monitoring; audited RLS policies via Supabase's splinter linter.
  3. Software Engineer · FullScale

    Jun 2022 — Present — IT Park, Cebu City, Philippines

    Feature delivery for US-based clients across several long-running projects.

    • AI Shorts video app — Figma-to-production UI, video effects and transitions, Next.js API routes, PR review.
    • Document web editor — document customization, Microsoft SSO, ReCaptcha, across Next.js and Ruby on Rails.
    • Multifamily loan platform — moved from bug fixes to owning features built from mockups and JIRA criteria.
    • Travel itinerary showcase — frontend and backend delivery under a tight timeline.
  4. Software Engineer · DNA Micro

    May 2021 — Jun 2022 — Gorordo Ave., Cebu City, Philippines

    Completed an intensive full-stack training program, then moved from the frontend team to the database team on the strength of data-handling work.

    • Built TypeScript and React components; diagnosed data inconsistencies caused by conflicting types in asynchronous flows.
    • Promoted to the database team — built a cross-instance migration script, a replication resync service with inconsistency alerting, and a SendGrid notification service.
    • Managed dockerized images across RethinkDB, PostgreSQL, MeiliSearch, Redis, Elasticsearch, and Cassandra.
    • Recognized for outstanding work and delivery of exceptional results (May 2022).
  5. Part-Time Software Engineer · Reliability Management (UK)

    Apr 2023 — Present — Remote (United Kingdom)

    Sole developer for a Reliability Centered Maintenance engineering business.
