Hire me
I'm RD Cruz, a full-stack Laravel developer in the Philippines. For 10+ years I've built and maintained systems for trade shows, government programs and businesses, used by more than 1,000,000 people. Hire me for one project, or keep me for the long run.
One clear goal with a written scope and a fixed quote before work starts. You see progress on a staging link every week.
A platform built in phases, released early and improved with what users actually do. One developer who knows the whole system, start to finish.
A set number of hours each month for maintenance, security updates, backups, small features and support before and during your events.
I join your team's repository, tools and meetings, and work through your backlog with your developers.

Case study →A custom engine that schedules buyer–seller meetings at trade events, with venues, time slots, appointments and feedback.
Case study →A ground-up rebuild of a government agency's website as a custom CMS, replacing a legacy app from the Joomla era.
Case study →It depends on the scope, so every project gets a written quote first. Send a short brief (it takes about 30 seconds) and I reply within one business day with questions or a quote. Retainers and team contracts are billed monthly.
Yes. Fixes, upgrades, a single feature, a landing page or a registration form for one event are all welcome, as long as the goal is clear.
Yes. Most of my systems have run for years, and I still maintain them. Long-term work can be a phased build, a monthly retainer or a part-time or full-time contract on your team.
Yes. I start with a short review of the code, the server and the risks, then we agree on what to fix first. I have rebuilt and migrated live platforms without losing data.
Yes. I work remotely from the Philippines (GMT+8) and overlap with Asia-Pacific, Middle East and European mornings. Updates are written, so time zones don't slow the project down.
I don't disappear. You can keep me on a monthly retainer for updates, security patches, backups and new features, or I hand everything over with notes so your team can run it.
