AU Tax Review System

Built a locally hosted tax review application that analyzes Xero export data for common Australian tax compliance issues. The system identifies potential errors, flags transactions that require review, calculates an audit readiness score, and generates workpapers to support tax preparation.

Booking Automation

Built a system that automatically handles bookings 24/7. It checks date availability, confirms reservations, sends payment and check-in reminders, and saves all booking information to Google Sheets, reducing manual work and helping prevent missed bookings.

About Me

Finance by experience.
Automation by passion.

Over a decade in bookkeeping, payroll and business operations — across Philippine HR and payroll agencies, U.S. retail companies, and Australian tax service firms. No matter where I worked, I kept seeing the same problems— too much manual work, repeated data entry, endless follow-ups, and spreadsheets that didn't work together. Skilled people were spending hours on tasks that should have taken minutes.

That's what inspired me to start building AI-assisted workflows and software. I began with automation tools like Google App Script, Zapier, n8n, Claude Code, then moved into modern web development using PostgreSQL, edge functions, and a multi-tenant SaaS architecture as my projects became more advanced. Pace Lodgix is the result of that journey—a property management platform built from the ground up in about a month of evenings and weekends, turning an idea into a live SaaS product.

  • 10+ years in finance; 4 years in bookkeeping & 7 years in payroll management
  • 700+ employees handled in multi-country payroll — PH, & other SEA countries
  • Certified Xero Professional, with hands-on AU tax compliance training

How I Work

From manual chaos
to a system that runs itself.

01

Understand the process

I start by finding where time is being wasted—manual data entry, repetitive tasks, follow-ups, and disconnected spreadsheets. Understanding the real problem comes before building the solution.

02

Design the flow

I choose the right tools for the job. Simple automations when they're enough, and scalable software when the business needs more. The goal is a solution that's reliable, easy to maintain, and built to grow.

03

Build & launch

From planning to deployment, I build the entire solution myself. Every workflow is tested, monitored, and designed to work reliably in day-to-day operations.

04

Hand over & support

Once everything is live, it keeps working without constant supervision. I provide documentation, dashboards, and automations that your team can use with confidence.
