Building useful
things for the web.

I'm Marlon, a full-stack developer who works across the whole stack — from the database up to the interface — building practical software that solves real problems.

Selected work

Projects I've spent real time on — each taught me how software holds up outside a tutorial.

01 — Capstone · Barangay 134 · Sole developer

BRGY-AI

A retrieval-augmented assistant that helps barangay officials look up legal information and draft documents for dispute resolution. Semantic retrieval over a verified knowledge base, grounded LLM answers, an admin dashboard and a resident mobile app.

My part: All of it — architecture, legal flow, dashboard, mobile app, PDF certificate generation and the debugging in between.

Dear Stranger

An anonymous letter-sharing platform. Write a letter or read someone else's — no account needed. Browse by discovery, pagination or shuffle, or dig through the archive.

About

I like understanding how the pieces of a system fit together, so I end up working on both sides — the interface someone actually touches and the API, database and auth underneath.

I'm a fourth-year BSIT student at Universidad de Manila, graduating in 2027. Outside of code I'm into film and directing, which probably explains why I fuss over pacing and detail.
