About Me

I build sites that load fast and get found.

I'm a web developer and designer from Davao City with a Computer Science degree in Data Science from the University of Southeastern Philippines. I've built and launched production sites for agencies and local businesses in the US, taking each one from the Figma file to a live, indexed site with the forms, analytics and SEO already working.

  • 01

    Design and code, one person

    I take a site from Figma to production myself, so nothing gets lost between the mockup and the build.

  • 02

    Fast is a feature

    Speed is part of the build, not a fix later. My Camelot rebuild took mobile PageSpeed from 25 to 98.

  • 03

    SEO from day one

    Canonicals, redirects, schema, sitemaps and GA4 events go in before launch, so a new site doesn't start from zero.

  • 04

    Test where people are

    I test on real phones, roll back fast when something breaks, and then fix the cause.
