Full-stack engineer and founder · Manila → Brisbane
Hi, I'm Ryan
I build software for real teams, working closely with the people behind them to understand what they need, solve problems, and build systems that help them grow and scale.
how i work
I've been building software professionally for 10 years, with deep experience in PHP, Laravel, JS, TS, and API systems in production. Over that time, the role has covered multiple hats across the whole engineering, from stakeholder discovery and technical decisions through to implementation, testing, and delivery.
Constantly learning and keeping up with how the industry is changing is a big part of how I work. AI has become a real multiplier for me, especially when exploring ideas, moving faster, or getting into areas outside my usual stack. There's been plenty of AI slop along the way too, which has made good judgment even more important. Knowing where it genuinely helps, where it doesn't, and when experience still matters is part of staying useful as things change.
what i'm building
Founding Engineer @Code Vertical — a bespoke software development firm in Manila, where I lead engineering and work with teams to build software from the ground up to long-term production, from full platforms to CRMs, CMS, internal portals, and middleware integrations, across real estate, operations, and franchising.
Founding Engineer @Cloverly — a B2B SaaS platform for property developers, where I've owned the technical direction from day one, from the core platform and sales and reservation workflows to integrations and operations. We're early, working closely with pilot clients, and steadily moving the product toward being AI-native at its core.
I also publish some of my side projects, open-source packages, and developer tools at rcsc.dev.
Written up a few of my projects as case studies:
2019 to present
An end-to-end property sales and operations platform
Property developer
Sales were split across SAP, an outgrown CRM, and a lot of spreadsheets. I led the build of one platform covering the work from lead to turnover.
- Real Estate
- PropTech
2020 to present
A fault-tolerant sync service for SAP and CRM data
Property developer
SAP sends files and the CRM updates leads. I built a separate service to keep the sales platform in sync with both, without hiding failures.
- Real Estate
- PropTech

say hi
If you're a founder or business owner who knows what you want to build but needs someone to take care of the technical side, I'd be glad to hear from you. I can step in where needed, from shaping the approach and making the right technical decisions to leading the build and getting it into production.
I'm also open to software development work, from building a product to taking on a project, in whatever setup works best for you. And if you just want to talk shop, feel free to reach out.
