// ai in the workflow

AI is part of how I build — not a bolt-on.

01

Faster iteration

I use AI to prototype, scaffold, and explore approaches quickly — then apply engineering judgement to what ships.

02

Better code review

AI helps me catch edge cases, tighten tests, and reason about reliability before things hit production.

03

Built into products

The assistant on this page is a small example — real model integration, wired to live answers, not a mockup.

Portrait of Nick RomeroManila, PH · open to remote

I'm a senior full-stack developer building robust, scalable web applications — and continuously improving the ones already in production.

Day to day I work on an enterprise talent-acquisition platform at PageUp People — software that has to stay reliable for a lot of people at once. That's taught me to care as much about what happens after launch as before it.

I'm comfortable across the whole stack, flexible with time zones, and I lean on AI tooling to move faster without cutting corners. When I'm off the clock, you'll find me on the football pitch keeping things balanced. ⚽

Projects worth a look.

Pushbike.ph
P/01

Pushbike.ph

The Philippines had no single place to find pushbike races, so I built one. Pushbike.ph maps every upcoming event across the country, lets organizers submit their own with Google Places-powered venue lookup, and routes each submission through a moderation console before it goes live. The whole thing was designed and shipped end-to-end with Claude — from the visual direction to the code.
