Software Developer · Philippines

Websites, web apps, and AI systems, engineered end to end and handed over working.

  1. 01

    Brief, made concrete

    One conversation becomes a spec: scope, screens, data model, and a fixed price. Nothing starts until we both know exactly what ships.

  2. 02

    Built end to end

    Web, mobile, and the systems behind them, from one team. Next.js and React Native on top; Node, Postgres and the APIs underneath.

  3. 03

    Tested, not assumed

    Every route and edge case, on real phones and slow connections. Performance is measured. Payroll reconciles to the centavo before it goes live.

  4. 04

    Shipped and handed over

    Deployed on GCP, monitored, documented. You own the code, the data, and the accounts. Nothing is locked behind me.

ralphc.pilapil@gmail.comgithub.com/RlphChrslinkedin.com/in/ralph-christian-pilapilBased in the Philippines · working worldwide

I'm a software developer who builds websites, web apps, and the systems behind them, living in the overlap between logic and craft. Fast, considered work where clean engineering meets thoughtful design.

Experience

Since 2021

Software Developer · Independent / Freelance

End to end product work, from first wireframe to deployed, monitored production systems.

  • Helped build Ragable, an AI web app builder that turns a prompt into a deployed product with a real database, auth, file storage, and live preview.
  • Designed and shipped an AI powered HRIS: GPS geofenced attendance, BIR compliant automated payroll, and a secure company document vault.
  • Built an AI powered POS with a full accounting system inside it, keeping sales insights and reconciled books under one roof.
  • Production React and Next.js frontends with an obsessive eye on performance, accessibility, and motion.
  • APIs, databases, and infrastructure that hold up under real traffic.

Ragable↗

AI App Builder · 2026

An AI web app builder by Chek that I helped build. Describe an app and it ships as a working product, not a mock: a real database from the first prompt, sign-in and user accounts, file storage, a live desktop and mobile preview while the agent codes, and cloud deployment in minutes. Mock-page detection flags any screen still faking its data before it goes live.

AI Powered HRIS

HR Platform · 2025

An AI driven human resource information system: GPS geofenced employee attendance, automated payroll that's BIR compliant out of the box, and a secure vault for company documents. The whole HR stack in one place.

Point of Sale · 2025 to 2026

A point of sale platform with a full accounting system built right in. AI surfaces sales insights and keeps the books reconciled, so selling and bookkeeping finally live under one roof.
