What I'm looking for

A remote UI/UX, front-end or full-stack role where I can own features from the first Figma flow to production code. I do my best work on product teams that care about the details: onboarding, empty and error states, design systems, and fast, accessible interfaces. Open to full-time or long-term part-time work, with overlap for US, EU or AU hours.

UI/UX designer and full-stack developer from the Philippines. I design in Figma, then build it myself in React, Flutter and Laravel, so what ships is what was designed. BS IT, Summa Cum Laude (National University, 2026).

Selected work

Infanta Sumbungan App (live, PNP Infanta). Emergency reporting and dispatch for 36 barangays: citizen and officer apps (Flutter), a station console (React) and panic buttons, all in one queue. Led UI/UX and the brand, co-led the frontend. Live SOS calls (LiveKit), real-time updates (Reverb), 7 roles.
Field Service platform (MEC Networks). Merged 4 legacy systems into one. UI/UX lead and full-stack: Laravel APIs, live GPS, WebSockets, RBAC and billing.
AI ticketing (MEC Networks, ~300 users). Led UI/UX, co-led the React frontend. A retrieval layer (fuzzy matching, BM25) cut AI API costs by a reported ~99.4%.
DalaGO (food delivery). Designed the customer app in Figma, onboarding to checkout, and built it in Flutter.
Maize Watch. Lead developer of an IoT app that turns field sensor data into daily prescriptions for corn farmers.
Careero. AI skill verification and matching, built by 3 people in 6 days. I built the AI features and matching engine.

Design case studies

Children's Farm, Gupet, morning brew, DalaGO and Just a Sec on dribbble.com/larkbabao.

What I bring

Flows, design systems and every state (empty, loading, error), handed off ready to build, because I build too.
React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Flutter, Laravel, Node.js, MySQL, MongoDB.
GMT+8, open to overlapping with US, EU and AU hours.
