I build backend automation and integrations. 15 years of it.

Most of that was at a business funding startup where I ran the backend automation on my own: CRM integrations with Close and Zoho, lead intake and routing, webhook chains, deduplication logic. The routing work cut follow-up time by about 40%. The tracking and dedupe work stopped roughly $10K a month in losses that used to come from manual reconciliation.

Since 2025 I have been freelance, doing the same kind of work with Make.com,

Zapier and n8n, plus VPS and DNS setup when a client needs it.

Lately most of my attention goes to agentic AI. I built knurl.tools, a deterministic secret and misconfiguration scanner delivered as an MCP server, published to the official MCP Registry and Smithery and running on hardened AWS. I also run Python trading systems against live exchange APIs over

WebSocket. That is where I learned most of what I know about reliability: state reconciliation, automatic reconnection, and guardian checks that catch failures before they cost money.

Strong in Python, TypeScript and SQL. I am comfortable owning something end to end, from mapping the process to keeping it running in production.

I am looking for remote work in automation, integration or AI application engineering. I am based in the Philippines and work well with Asia-Pacific, UK or European hours, and can overlap a couple of hours into US Eastern.
