Lex — Excelsior AI Assistant

Handles client inquiries 24/7. Zero staffing cost.

The Problem

Businesses lose leads after hours because no one is available to handle inquiries. Every unanswered message is a missed opportunity — but hiring someone just for initial qualification is not practical.

The Solution

Branded AI agent deployed on the Excelsior website. Captures leads, scores them, and notifies the team. Supabase persistence for full conversation history. Resend email notifications on new leads. Available any time with no additional headcount.

SnipSnap — Screen Capture & Annotation

Personal screen capture and annotation tool — built for my own workflow, with commercial potential after full testing.

The Problem

I needed a capable screen capture and annotation tool for daily documentation and client work. The built-in Snipping Tool was too limited — no annotation depth, no window detection, no delay timer, no PDF output. Subscription tools like Snagit were overkill and added recurring cost for what should be a one-time build.

The Solution

Custom Electron desktop app built to my exact workflow: region, window, and full-screen capture with crosshair overlay, magnifier loupe, and automatic window detection. 15+ annotation tools including rectangle, ellipse, arrow, line, freehand pen, text, step counter, callout, highlight, stamp, blur, magnify, fill, eraser, and crop. Save as PNG, JPEG, or PDF. Copy to clipboard. Launcher window with delay timer (0/3/5/10s), system tray with hotkeys, and a portable EXE — no install, no cloud, no recurring cost. Once fully tested and revised, this may be released commercially.

WhatsApp Business Automation

Auto-reply system that handles lead inquiries on WhatsApp 24/7.

The Problem

Businesses miss leads on WhatsApp when messages go unanswered after hours. Manual responses are slow and inconsistent — no system exists to qualify prospects or route inquiries when the owner is unavailable.

The Solution

n8n workflow automation deployed on a self-managed Hetzner VPS behind Nginx + Let's Encrypt SSL. A custom Node.js proxy handles WhatsApp Cloud API authentication. Smart keyword detection auto-replies with service menus, booking links, and portfolio — 15+ keyword categories including Consultant, SEO, AI, Web Development, and Pricing. No monthly SaaS fees; everything runs on owned infrastructure.

Forex Traders Database

Custom internal platform for managing 100+ forex traders, MT4 accounts, VPS servers, and payment tracking.

The Problem

Managing 100+ forex traders, 170+ MT4 accounts, VPS servers, and payment records across an operation required too many manual spreadsheets with no central view, no payment tracking, and no way to send notices to traders.

The Solution

Built solo using AI-assisted development. Full Node.js + Express app with AES-256 encrypted MT4 credentials, session auth, and rate limiting. Migrated off Render to a self-owned Hetzner Linux VPS — provisioned from scratch with SSH, firewall, Nginx reverse proxy, PM2 process management, and Let's Encrypt SSL. SQLite database persisted on VPS disk.

Excelsior HR Advisor

AI-powered HR counsel for Philippine labor law — available 24/7.

The Problem

SMEs in the Philippines face real labor law compliance exposure but cannot afford retained HR counsel. A single wrong decision on termination, benefits, or contracts becomes a costly legal issue.

The Solution

AI-powered advisor covering 6 HR domains — Labor Law, Compensation, Recruitment, Performance, Employee Relations, and Compliance. Freemium SaaS model. Available any time, at a fraction of the cost of retained HR.

SEO Strategy & Implementation

SEO strategy report, technical implementation, and performance monitoring — for any platform.

The Problem

Websites built on modern frameworks like Next.js lack SEO fundamentals out of the box: no sitemap, no per-page metadata, no structured data, and no social previews. The codebase needs a full implementation — sitemaps, metadata, structured data, and social tags — not just recommendations.

The Solution

A complete SEO service: strategy report delivered, approved strategies implemented. Sitemaps, metadata, structured data, social previews, and Search Console — all baked into your site and verified live.

Excelsior Lead Ranker

Know exactly who to call today — and who to stop chasing.

The Problem

Every business owner, salesperson, and contractor has a list of prospects to follow up with. Most track them in a spreadsheet. Others pay monthly for a CRM just to know who to follow up with first.

The Solution

Free browser tool — no login, no subscription, no formulas. Enter your leads, check what applies to each one, and get instant priority scores: 🔴 HOT — call today · 🟡 WARM — follow up this week · 🔵 COLD — schedule next month · ⚪ UNQUALIFIED — stop chasing. Flip the ranking. Export to Excel in one click.

A structured assessment of where your business actually stands.

The Problem

Excelsior Standard Diagnostic Scorecard

Score your business against the Excelsior Standard — know what to fix first.

The Problem

Most business owners jump to solutions before diagnosing the actual gaps. Without a structured checklist, critical blind spots stay hidden until they cost real money.

The Solution

Excelsior Financial Dashboard

Custom financial visibility — built for how the business actually works.

The Problem

Off-the-shelf financial SaaS costs $500–$1,200 per year and still doesn't fit how a consulting firm actually tracks revenue, expenses, and project-level P&L.

The Solution

Custom real-time financial dashboard with revenue tracking, sales reporting, expense management, and full P&L visibility. Multi-client and multi-user. Built specifically for Excelsior's reporting structure — replacing all SaaS spend.

RC Family Grocery Backoffice

Replacing the logbook — consistent BO item reporting for a Philippine grocery chain.

The Problem

RC Family Grocery's back office items were tracked through manual logbooks and loose references, making reports inconsistent and unreliable. Missing entries and unclear records meant management had no consistent view of BO item movement across branches.

The Solution

Custom web app that centralizes back office item reporting — eliminating the manual logbook and giving management a consistent, reliable reference for every BO item transaction. Built specifically for RC Family Grocery's operational structure.

Excelsior Messenger Bot

Multilingual AI on Facebook Messenger — Tagalog, English, Taglish, and Bisaya.

The Problem

Filipino users engaging with businesses on Facebook Messenger expect responses in their native language. Generic chatbots respond only in English and miss the code-switching (Taglish) and regional language (Bisaya) that Filipino users naturally use.

The Solution

Facebook Messenger bot with multilingual AI responding in Tagalog, English, Taglish, and Bisaya. Detects the user's language automatically and responds in kind. Integrated with the Excelsior brand and deployed as a live channel for business inquiries.

Southroads Auto Website

Dark luxury web presence for a Cebu auto services brand.

The Problem

Southroads — a Talisay, Cebu auto shop offering paint & body repair, detailing, and car display — had no digital presence. Walk-in traffic alone cannot scale a premium auto services brand; a compelling website is the front door.

The Solution

Custom single-page website built from scratch with a dark luxury visual direction: black, red, and gold palette, Montserrat and Cormorant Garamond typography, custom cursor, smooth scroll animations, and a page loader. No framework dependencies — pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for maximum performance and zero build overhead.

Real Business Problems

My AI-Assisted Coding
Methodology

How I build real software — without memorizing syntax. Updated 2026.

“I design the systems that run your business. Then I build them.”

Most developers start from the code. I start from the business problem. With over 20 years of business and HR practice behind every decision, I diagnose the operation, design the system, and use AI as the execution layer.

The result is software that actually fits how a business works.

“You don't need to know everything to build something real. You need clarity, structure, and the discipline to keep iterating.”

My Workflow

Git BashClaudeLocalhost TestSupabase / NeonVercel Deploycron.org
01

Propose Before You Build

No code until the plan is clear. Scope, architecture, and sequence come first. Wasted cycles are eliminated before they start.

02

Feature Branches, Always

Every feature lives on its own branch. Nothing touches master until tested and stable. Production is always protected.

03

Real Database From Day One

Supabase or Neon from the start. No JSON workarounds, no shortcuts. Data structure is the foundation, not an afterthought.

04

Localhost First, Deploy Last

Every correction is tested locally before pushing to Vercel. Nothing goes live until I approve it. The pipeline stays clean and intentional.

05

One AI, Fully Mastered

Standardized on Claude across architecture, code, copy, and strategy. Deep fluency with one tool beats shallow use of many.

06

Document as You Go

Changelogs, architecture notes, and SOPs are built alongside the product. Documentation grows with the work, not after it.

07

Iteration Is the Real Skill

Clear communication and precise problem framing produce better software than memorized syntax. The first output is always a starting point.

08

Security by Default

Every deployment passes a security review before release. Environment variables, database rules, and dependencies are all checked — without being asked.

09

Structured Project Memory

Every project carries a CLAUDE.md — a living brief that holds conventions, stack details, branch rules, and session context. Claude Code reads it automatically.

10

Conventional Commits

Every commit follows a structured format: feat, fix, docs, security, refactor. This feeds the changelog automatically and keeps history readable.
