Selected Work

Selected Work

A selection of systems we have designed, built, and deployed. Client names are withheld where projects involve confidential information.

Document Management Platform

Self-hosted document management and file collaboration, deployed on the organization's own infrastructure — fully private, with shared workflows and structured access control.

  • Technology: Nextcloud · Linux · Docker
  • Problem: Documents scattered across cabinets, shared folders, and email attachments.
  • Outcome: Staff share, search, and version documents in one private, locally hosted platform.

Student Information System

Learner records, enrolment, quarterly and final grade encoding, honor ranking, attendance, and guidance records — generating official report cards directly from the system, with role-based access and full audit logs.

  • Technology: PHP · PostgreSQL · Linux
  • Problem: Enrolment, grades, and report cards prepared by hand each term, with records scattered across files.
  • Outcome: Staff encode data once and generate official forms straight from the system.

Learning Management Platform

Moodle-based learning management system with adaptive learning paths, interactive content, and analytics — built for educators, available as a live demo.

  • Technology: Moodle · Linux · PostgreSQL
  • Problem: Educators needed structured course content, activities, and progress tracking without per-learner licensing costs.
  • Outcome: Courses, activities, and learner progress run on a self-hosted, open-source platform.

Tourism Management Platform

Public directory of tourism establishments paired with a back office that consolidates establishment and visitor data into ready-to-submit reports.

  • Technology: PHP · MariaDB · REST APIs
  • Problem: Visitor and establishment data lived in scattered spreadsheets, manually consolidated for every report.
  • Outcome: One platform holds the public directory and the reporting data, with exports ready for submission.

1

Understand

We start with your workflows, pain points, and goals. A clear picture of how your organization actually operates shapes everything that follows.

2

Design

We propose an approach and scope that fit your needs and budget — the right technology for the problem, not the other way around.

3

Build

We develop in stages with regular checkpoints, so you see working progress and can steer along the way.

4

Deploy

We set systems up where they belong — on your own infrastructure or an appropriate environment — and train your team to use them.

5

Support

We stay available after launch for fixes, adjustments, and maintenance — with documentation your team can actually follow.

Why Open Source

Why We Choose Open Source

Open source is not automatically cheaper or more secure in every situation. What it reliably gives an organization is control — over its data, its infrastructure, and its future. We choose open-source platforms where they genuinely fit, and we say so plainly when a proprietary tool is the better choice.

Lower Technology Costs

No per-user licensing fees on core platforms — budgets go to your system, not subscriptions.

Greater Flexibility

Adjust, extend, and integrate systems without waiting on a vendor's roadmap.

Reduced Vendor Lock-In

Your data and code stay yours — portable to other developers and providers.

Better Control of Infrastructure

Run systems on your own servers, in your own network, under your own policies.

Transparency

Open code can be inspected, audited, and understood by anyone you choose.

Long-Term Maintainability

Widely adopted platforms with large communities stay supported and improvable for years.

On-Premise Deployment

Keep sensitive data inside your organization where regulations or policy require it.

Straight Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

The real questions clients ask us before signing on. Short, honest answers.

Bakit startup kayo — hindi ba mas ligtas mag-hire ng established vendor?

Fair question. As a regional startup, we're faster, cheaper, and genuinely accountable — one call away, literally in the same region. Plus, we're DTI-registered and verifiable — not a freelancer who can disappear.

What if you close down? Mawawala ba system namin?

No. This is actually our biggest differentiator: we build on open-source technology (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, NextCloud, MOODLE, etc.), and you own your code and data. If we ever close, your system keeps running — and any other developer on earth can maintain it. You are never locked in to us or to a proprietary SaaS.

Gaano katagal bago ma-deploy ang system?

Depends on scope, but our honest timelines:

  • Business website (designed and developed to your needs): 1–3 weeks
  • Deploy a document, learning, or storage system: 2–4 weeks including training
  • Fully custom app: 2–6 months, delivered in phases so you see progress monthly

We give written timelines after the free consultation — and we tell you early if something will slip.

Magkano? Do you have pricing?

We don't do one-size-fits-all pricing because every office has different needs. But here's how we work:

  • Free first consultation — we scope your needs, no commitment.
  • Written proposal with fixed price — no hidden fees, no surprise billing.
  • Pay in milestones — you only pay for work delivered.
  • No licensing fees — since we use open-source, you don't pay monthly SaaS fees forever.

Small business websites start at affordable rates. Full custom systems are scoped individually.

Do you provide training and support after launch?

Yes. Every engagement includes:

  • On-site or remote training for your staff
  • User manuals in plain English (or Filipino if preferred)
  • Post-launch support period for bug fixes and adjustments
  • Optional maintenance retainer for ongoing updates, backups, and new features
Can you work with our existing systems?

Yes. We integrate with what you already have — existing databases, Excel files, payroll systems, accounting tools, or third-party portals. We don't force rip-and-replace. If your current system works, we extend it; if it doesn't, we migrate data cleanly so nothing is lost.

Saan kayo located? Can you visit our office?

We're based in northeastern Cagayan, Philippines. We serve organizations across Region II (Cagayan Valley) — Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, and Batanes — and nearby areas, with remote services available where appropriate. On-site visits for scoping, training, and deployment are part of our service in Region II; for clients farther away, we engage remotely or arrange visits case-by-case.

Is our data secure? What about data privacy (RA 10173)?

Security is non-negotiable for us. Every system we build includes: HTTPS everywhere, encrypted database fields for sensitive data, role-based access control, audit trails, automated daily backups, and compliance-ready logging. We design to the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173) principles — minimal data collection, explicit consent, and data subject rights (export, erasure).
