How I build
I design it, AI writes it, tests prove it, I run it.
I don't write code by hand. I build the way a growing number of software teams now work, called agentic engineering:
- I design the system with you.
- AI coding agents write it under my direction. Today those are Claude Code and OpenAI Codex.
- I check everything they produce before it reaches you.
In practice
- I design it with you. We map how the work happens today and decide what the system should do. We also agree what the AI may do on its own and what always needs a person.
- AI writes the code, under my direction. I break the work into small pieces, specify each one, and have AI coding agents build it.
- Nothing ships on the AI's word.
- Every change must pass automated tests.
- I first prove those tests catch the problem they are meant to catch.
- Then I check it working for real, the way you will use it.
- Every release can be undone. I take a backup, record exactly what changed, and keep a way back.
- I run what I build. Monitoring, fixes, and a monthly report on how it performs and what the AI costs you.
What you are signing up for
| You get | What it means |
|---|---|
| A working system, not a prototype | Built, tested, deployed, and handed over with a plain-language guide |
| One accountable person | I own the result and the checking. The AI does the typing |
| Usually faster and cheaper than hiring a development team | For small and mid-sized systems |
| Code and accounts in your name | You own them. The code is standard, documented and covered by tests, so another developer, or another AI-assisted builder, can take over |
| Human approval where it matters | Agents draft and propose. People approve anything sent, paid or deleted |
| A cap on AI spending | Each agent has its own budget, and cheaper models do the routine work |
Where I bring in others
- High-stakes systems. For payments, sensitive personal data or regulated activity, I recommend an independent code and security review by a human engineer, and can arrange one.
- Legal and accounting rules. I build them as settings that you or your adviser control, rather than guessing.
Your data
- AI coding tools see your system's code while I build it. Real customer and staff data stays out of AI tools unless you approve it in writing.
- Before we start, I tell you exactly which AI services will see your code or data, and you can rule any of them out.
- I follow the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and sign a data-processing agreement when your project needs one.
