Ten years writing production code inside other people's companies. Now I write it for yours — web apps, online stores, and the small tools that keep a business running without you thinking about them.
Instead of a portfolio of mockups, here's what's actually running right now — built for real people, for real use, not for a design file.
A full storefront for a Tacloban flower and gifting business — browsable catalog, occasion-based shopping, and checkout built around GCash, Maya, and same-day delivery.
5,000+ customers served across LeyteA brand site for a one-woman handmade ribbon-bouquet studio — built to turn Facebook Marketplace traffic into direct orders and tell the founder's story properly.
Zero-minimum ordering, running since 2024A private, real-time chat app built for one household — works across every device, keeps messages queued when the internet drops, and syncs the moment it's back.
Offline-first, cloud-to-LAN failoverA resume builder with grammar correction built directly into the writing flow — no switching tabs to check your wording before you send it off.
A content brand for an ongoing horror-story archive, designed to feel like a classified case file rather than another blog template.
Every one of these started as an idea sent over a message, not a formal brief. Yours can start the same way.
Custom tools and dashboards built with React, TypeScript, and Next.js — for internal use or for your customers.
Shopify builds with custom Liquid theming, or a fully custom checkout when off-the-shelf doesn't fit.
WordPress or hand-built sites that load fast and that you can actually update yourself afterward.
Bug fixes, new features, hosting help. I don't disappear the day the invoice is paid.
A message is enough to start. No deck or spec document required.
What gets built, what it costs, and how long it takes — agreed before any code is written.
You see progress as it happens, not just a reveal at the very end.
You get something live, and someone to call when it needs to change.
L8Tech is me — Ric, a front-end developer based in Tacloban City. I've spent over a decade building software inside other companies' teams: React and TypeScript applications, Shopify storefronts, WordPress sites, and the unglamorous plumbing that keeps a product running when nobody's looking.
L8Tech is that same work, done directly for you — without the layers of a bigger agency in between.
Tell me what it is. I'll tell you honestly whether it's a weekend job or a real project — and what either one takes.
