Menjil Villalobos
Full-Stack Developer · Dumaguete City, Philippines
I love building AI-powered software and web apps that help businesses cut busywork, ship faster, and unlock new revenue.
I'm a tech-dad to a son and a daughter who love exploring new discoveries and technology. I spend plenty of time with my daughter on father-and-daughter drives, and I haven't forgotten my energetic son — we usually wrestle and hit food trips together. On the side, I like building little tools and apps for my wife, my kids, and my own needs.
// about
Different problems, same pattern.
I've shipped Pickleball booking systems used by real clubs, a free SEO tool that replaces $200/month subscriptions, a native Mac app on the App Store, and internal tools that saved a guest-house team dozens of hours a month. Different domains — same pattern: pick a painful workflow, automate the expensive parts, ship something that pays for itself.
I work with founders and small teams who don't have patience for enterprise-flavored engineering theater. I handle the whole stack, bring AI where it actually helps, and leave behind something maintainable when I step back.
