Web developer & SEO specialist

I build business websites that stay fast and get found.

Information technology coursework alongside hands-on production work on corporate sites, blogs and online stores. I use WordPress and Elementor for content teams, and hand-written HTML and CSS where a page has to be exact. The other half of the job is the technical SEO that decides whether a search engine, or an AI assistant, can read the result at all: structured data, clean slugs, redirects that do not chain.

Client work and practice builds

One piece of client work and four self-initiated WordPress practice builds. Each case study says what the work is, what I did, what you can check and what I would change. The live sites and the source code sit inside the case study they belong to.

Where I started: first-year code

Two programs from my first year of BSIT, before WordPress and SEO, both built in two-person teams. They run on a computer, not in a browser, so each has a short case study and the code is on GitHub.

MotoPulse

A terminal app for motorcycle maintenance, built in a two-person team. It ranks every open job by how overdue it is, so the most urgent one sits at the top. Passwords are hashed, actions can be undone, and everything saves to a file.

  • Python
  • Command line
  • Priority queue
  • JSON

NCTN Bank

A desktop banking app with dialog-box menus, built in a two-person team. You open an account, deposit, withdraw and transfer, and an account locks after three wrong passwords until an admin unlocks it. Data lives in memory only, which is the first thing I would change.

  • Java
  • Swing
  • Object-oriented design

Search work: this site

The one project here about getting found. I used my own portfolio as the test site and measured it, including what the measurements could not show.

SEO on this site

Canonical and sharing tags on every page, a sitemap and robots file, and structured data that went from 2 blocks to 4, then checked with Lighthouse on the live pages. Lighthouse scored SEO 100 before and after, so I counted the tags instead.

From people I have worked with

Short comments from classmates and collaborators on what working with me was like.

Portrait of Elijah Roman F. Mercado

A great teammate to collaborate with: very fast, reliable, and cooperative throughout our project. Delivered quality work on time and was always receptive to feedback and ideas.

Super easy to work with and always hits every deadline with top-tier work. You made the whole group project run smoothly from start to finish!

Portrait of Rhona-mae P. Prudenciado

Working with you was a great experience. You consistently brought strong user-centered design thinking, dedication, and clear communication to our team's workflow. One thing that stood out was your ability to break down complex UX challenges and keep our design process focused and organized, which significantly helped us hit our project goals on time.

Built to be handed over

A site I finish is a site someone else can run. That means named custom fields instead of hard-coded text, a template for anything that repeats, and a short written handover so the next person is not reverse-engineering my work.

It also means the site is legible to machines. Structured data describes what a page is rather than leaving a crawler to guess from the layout, slugs stay stable so links do not rot, and redirects resolve in one hop instead of a chain. That work is invisible on the page and decides whether the page is quoted at all. That is what AEO and GEO actually mean: being readable to the assistant answering the question, not only to the search index.
