WooCommerce store taken live without SSH; Stripe webhooks fixed in production.
Available for remote work
I'm Avel, a full-stack engineer. Payments, online stores and real-time apps.
For six years I've built and maintained production systems end to end: React, Next.js and TypeScript on the front; Node.js, Express and PHP services behind them, with REST and GraphQL APIs, payment integrations and webhooks over MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB. I've also built on ServiceNow, writing Business Rules and Script Includes and automating service-request workflows. Today I freelance for clients in Australia and the Philippines, most recently taking a WooCommerce store live.
More about meShow less
I started in 2019 with part-time WordPress work: site speed, SEO and custom plugins. Since then I've worked across the stack, from Node.js services behind ExpressPay's branch system to real-money gaming inside the GCash app and a Telegram bot with in-chat payments. From ExpressPay onward every team I joined ran Agile sprints; from WBridges onward we also reviewed each other's code.
Outside client work I build my own apps to learn something new each time. The latest is AMYGO, the 3D gym at the top of this page, in React and three.js.
- Stripe at Signal One: traced live webhook failures to a signing-secret mismatch and reconciled the orders paid during the outage.
- PayMaya and GCash integrations at ExpressPay, for cross-channel transactions.
- Telegram's native in-chat payments in the Casino Plus bot.
- Took Signal One live on WooCommerce, on shared cPanel hosting with no SSH, carrying across 1,156 variations and a 213MB database.
- Upgraded its stack from PHP 7 to 8 and fixed page-cache conflicts serving stale HTML.
- A personal project: a multi-tenant commerce backend with REST APIs and tenant-scoped auth for more than one storefront.
- Pick2Win, Grand Sabado and 3D Rush on lottoplay.ph, with live WebSocket feeds for rounds, results and chat.
- A chat-moderation platform built from scratch and adopted across multiple game environments.
- 8+ versioned releases, with UAT sign-offs coordinated with QA and backend teams.
