Payboy, 04/25 — Present

Led a team of 3 developers on Gutsy, a multi-tenant HR platform built with Ruby on Rails, Vue 3, and PostgreSQL. Delivered features end to end — from Rails models and services through to Vue components and release.

Key Achievement: Architected and shipped a drag-and-drop Form Builder that routes submissions through a workflow engine into Notion-like Data Tables, plus a Contract & Document Builder with e-signature workflows.

Freelance Project, 11/24 — 06/25

I single-handedly developed Balik Kampungku (balikkampungku.com), a student transportation management platform built with the VILT Stack — covering bus trip coordination, ticket booking, and real-time trip tracking. My role spanned backend logic, responsive UI design, and deployment.

Key Achievement: Delivered and launched a complete, production-ready platform end to end as a solo freelance developer.

FNXperts, 04/23 — 04/25

I built responsive, mobile-first web apps on the VILT Stack across client systems in mining, hydro power, and ticketing. My role involved writing clean, efficient, and testable code, and resolving production defects across live client systems.

Key Achievement: Pioneered the team’s first GitLab CI/CD pipeline — automating builds, tests, and deployments — and created a reusable SaaS boilerplate adopted as the foundation for every new project.

Mutiara iTech, 04/21 — 03/23

I built iGuaman, a legal aid case-management system for Jabatan Bantuan Guaman, on the TALL stack (Tailwind, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire), owning full-stack delivery from requirements to a maintainable system.

Key Achievement: Led mobile development from scratch — self-learning Flutter and delivering a production-ready app in 2 months.

TOOLBOX

Essential Tools for the Development.

Vue + Rails Stack.

I contributed to a project utilizing the Vue + Rails Stack focused on building scalable and maintainable web applications.

This stack combines Vue.js, Ruby on Rails API, PostgreSQL, & Tailwind CSS to deliver a modern front-end experience with a powerful and reliable back-end.

Vue.js — Front End progressive JavaScript framework.

Ruby on Rails — Back End API-first web application framework.

PostgreSQL — Advanced open-source relational database system.

Tailwind CSS — Utility-first CSS framework for rapid design.

VILT Stack.

I had chosen VILT Stack as an efficient solution for full-stack development.

It combines Vue.js, Inertia.js, Laravel, & Tailwind CSS to deliver dynamic user interfaces and clean, maintainable backend systems.

Vue.js — Front End progressive JavaScript framework.

Inertia.js — Back End & Front End frameworks Connector.

Laravel — Back End PHP web application framework.

Tailwind CSS — Utility-first CSS framework for rapid design.

TALL Stack.

The TALL Stack offers powerful alternative for building dynamic applications.

It integrates Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, Laravel, and Livewire to create responsive and reactive interfaces seamlessly within the Laravel ecosystem.

Tailwind CSS — Utility-first CSS framework for rapid design.

Alpine.js — Minimal framework for composing JavaScript behavior in your markup.

Laravel — Back End PHP web application framework.

Livewire — A full-stack framework for Laravel simplifies dynamic UIs.

Laravel Eloquent with MySQL.

Laravel Eloquent simplifies database interaction through its expressive ORM, while MySQL serves as the robust relational database to manage structured data.

Together, they streamline querying and manipulating data, allowing developers to focus on building features without getting bogged down by complex SQL.

Laravel Eloquent — Elegant ORM for database interaction.

MySQL — Robust relational database management system.

GitLab and its CI/CD.

GitLab serves as a powerful version control system, facilitating collaboration and code management.

Coupled with GitLab CI/CD, it automates testing and deployment processes, ensuring smooth integration and delivery of code changes.

GitLab — Comprehensive platform for Git Version Control and collaboration.

CICD — Automated processes for Continuous Integration & Delivery.

Containerization & Cloud.

Beyond the application layer, I ship with a strong DevOps focus — containerizing services with Docker and orchestrating them on Kubernetes.

I'm a Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and deploy cloud-native workloads on AWS through automated CI/CD.

Docker — Containerization for consistent, portable deployments.

Kubernetes — Container orchestration at scale (CKA certified).

AWS — Cloud infrastructure on EC2 & S3.

AI & LLM Integration.

I integrate large language models into products — building in-app AI chatbots and automated summarization on top of Gemini and Claude.

Most recently in Cortex (a side project), a multi-tenant workspace where the Gemini API powers an in-app assistant and auto-generated workspace summaries.

Google Gemini API — In-app AI chatbot & automated summarization.

Anthropic Claude API — Chatbot & document summarization.
