> I build software for _

01 // About

I'm Kyle, a full-stack developer from the Philippines. I am a student from the University of the Philippines and I've been building software professionally for two years, working with startups and government agencies across different problem spaces.

Currently I am the founding engineer at a US-based fintech startup, so I handle everything from the database layer up to the frontend.

Before that I built data systems for Philippine government agencies. The work was mostly about taking processes that ate up weeks of someone's time and turning them into something more reliable.

I like working with small teams that move fast and actually care about what they're building.

Restaurant Brand & Site Apr 2026

Guests arrive already feeling like family. The site reads like an invitation rather than a menu listing, and the print and digital identities now feel like one.

The challenge

A family-owned restaurant in Antipolo needed a digital home that felt as warm and personal as the actual house behind it.

What I built

Designed the brand from scratch (burgundy and cream palette, the typography, the print menu system, the voice) then built the one-page Next.js site to carry it through.

Automated Parsing Pipelines

The challenge

119 health centers were sending nutrition data manually. Pulling it all together took staff about 2 weeks every cycle.

What I built

Built a system that automatically reads and validates incoming records, then displays them in clean dashboards. Packaged it so it runs on any government computer without setup issues.

Full-Stack Web App May 2025

Pro Bono

UP Baguio Student Relations Office

Students can now request org activities without having to do paperwork every time and guess when they've been approved. Staff can access org records and activity requests from their phone anywhere.

RoleSoftware Engineer

Vite
React
Tailwind CSS
ShadCN
Supabase

The challenge

Every org activity ran on paper forms. Students had to file, sign, and chase their own approvals with no visibility. Staff had no way to review requests or pull up org records away from a desk.

What I built

Built a web app where students submit activity requests and track approval status live, and where staff review requests and manage org records from anywhere, phone included.

Report generation went from 4 days to under 4 hours. Staff who aren't developers can run the whole thing on their own.

RoleSolo Developer

Excel
VBA Scripting
Data Analytics

The challenge

Over 68,000 senior citizen records were being managed by hand. Generating reports took days of manual work.

What I built

Built a system using Excel and scripting that handles data entry, runs analytics, and generates reports automatically. Designed it so non-technical staff could use it without training.

03 // For Good Causes

If you're building something good, I might build it with you for free.

Most of what I do is paid client work. But every now and then I take on a project for free for small local businesses, family-owned restaurants, non-profits, students, and people building things that matter without the budget for a developer.

It's case by case. The cause has to be real, the work has to fit what I can do well, and there has to be time. If that sounds like you, the contact form below is the way in. Tell me what you're building and why it matters.
