Hi, I'm Jerome.
I'm a developer from Bataan in the Philippines. I build web apps, internal tools and automations for founders and small businesses.
Now I work for myself. This year I built a task app for a print factory in Australia. Before that, at a software agency, I led the build of a medical records platform for US law firms.
How I got here
- 2016–2018System implementations, then software development coordinator, at CITE in Manila
- 2019–2022Started building apps in Bubble at an outsourcing company in Bataan
- 2022App and cloud support at Accenture
- 2022–2026Developer at a software agency, then Senior Developer and Technical Lead, running builds and a team of developers for US clients
- 2026–nowIndependent, working directly with founders and small teams
The tools I pick
I use low-code tools like WeWeb, Xano, Supabase and n8n a lot. They let me get working software in front of you in weeks, it costs you less, and your team can maintain it later. When something needs custom code, I write the code. I just pick whatever gets you a working product fastest.
Working with someone in the Philippines
I'm on Philippine time (UTC+8). If you're in Australia, our working days line up. If you're in the US, we overlap in your morning or evening, and I'm working while you sleep. Either way you'll get written updates, so you don't have to chase me to find out where things are.
Tools I use
- Frontend
- WeWeb, React, Vite, Tailwind, Bubble
- Backend
- Xano, Supabase (Postgres)
- Automation
- n8n, Make
- AI
- Claude, MCP servers, OCR and document summaries
- Integrations
- Filevine, Deputy, REST APIs, push notifications
- Hosting
- Vercel, Cloudflare
Outside client work
My wife and I also run a small delivery business in our neighbourhood. We use an app I built for it every day, so I know how annoying it is when software gets in the way.
