01Your problem
Sound familiar?
If you run a growing ecommerce brand
Revenue is growing. So is the chaos.
Five tools that don't talk to each other. A team doing by hand what software should do. Orders, listings, content and customers spread across spreadsheets and inboxes. And you, still the person everything runs through.
That isn't a sign you're failing. It's a sign you've outgrown the way you run. I take the operations, the marketing and the systems off your plate, so you can lead the business instead of holding it together.
An errands app for Filipinos in places the big delivery apps don't reach. Post an errand, and a verified neighbour, a "Hopper", buys it, pays it, queues for it or brings it to you.
A form fill tags the lead, sends the booking link, waits a day, then splits: booked leads alert the team and open a deal, the rest get an SMS nudge.

Call centre, customer care, marketing, operations, builds. I know how each part of an ecommerce business actually runs.
My builds get used
HQ runs a 15-store group every day and does about 40 hours of manual work a week: a full-time person's job. Everything I build ships documented, so your team can run it.

From the phones to the platform
I've worked every seat in an ecommerce business. That's why the systems I build fit how one actually runs.
I started on the phones in 2022, qualifying leads at a call centre, and was named Top Invaluable Agent. From 2023 I freelanced, supporting 12 ecommerce stores end to end. In 2024 and 2025 I worked with agencies: at Ripple VA's I ran email campaigns and automations, and won the Best Output Award in email marketing. At Pineapple VA Hub and TaskFlo I grew social accounts and produced the content behind them.
Since 2024 I've run day-to-day operations for Zingo World, a 15-store ecommerce group: the stores, the campaigns, the websites and apps, and the automation that ties them together. That's where I built HQ, the platform the business now runs on.
I still work all three sides: operations, marketing and the systems underneath. Few people do all three, and that's why my builds get used, not just delivered.

Ways to work together
You start at the first one
I don't quote a build before I've seen the business. The most expensive mistake in growth is building the wrong thing well.
So every engagement starts with a fixed-price diagnosis. You keep the plan either way.
Three ways to work together
Start here
Systems Diagnostic
Fixed scope · fixed price · about 2 weeks
I map your tools, workflows, storefront and marketing. You get a written plan: what to fix, in what order, and what each fix is worth. The plan is yours to keep.
Then
Build
Scoped from the diagnostic
Stores, platforms, automations and marketing systems. Built, tested and documented, and your team trained on every part.
Ongoing
Partner
Monthly · limited spots
I stay on to run, measure and grow what we built. One partner who knows your business from the inside.
Projects typically start at your starting price.
This is for you if
You run an established brand with real revenue
Your operations have outgrown your tools
You're ready to invest in infrastructure
This isn't for you if
You're looking for the cheapest hourly help
You want one-off tasks without a system behind them
Has your business outgrown the way it runs?
I take on a small number of brands each quarter, so each one gets my full attention from diagnosis to handover. Tell me where your business is today. I reply to every enquiry personally within 2 business days.
P.S. Not sure you're ready for a full build? Start with the diagnostic. You keep the plan either way, and you'll know exactly what your business needs next.

Help is just around the corner: an errands app for Filipinos in places the big apps don't reach.

ID-checkedHoppers before their first task
2026started, and just getting going
My roleFounder: idea, design and build
What I builtCustomer app, Hopper app and the website
Who it's forFamilies and workers in Dipolog City and towns like it
ResultsErrands done / Hoppers signed up
The wall
In towns like Dipolog, the big delivery and errand apps don't come. Paying a bill, queuing at a government office or a bank, or picking up medicine still means a day off work or a long trip, and many people simply can't make it.
What I built
A customer app: say what you need (buy for me, pay my bills, queue for me, deliver, household help, transport, travel, remote), pick a time, pin the place on a map
A Hopper side: sign up, an ID check, safety rules, a feed of jobs nearby, and the job details
Chat in every errand, a hand-off code so the right person receives it, and reviews after
The website, so people find it and can sign in from anywhere
The idea
Somebody nearby can always help. HazzaHub connects the person who needs an errand done with a verified neighbour who can do it, and keeps both safe while it happens.
Key insight
The gap isn't the errand, it's trust. Verified Hoppers, a hand-off code and reviews are what let a stranger run your errand.
See every screen
The full customer and Hopper flow, 15 screens.

Results~40 hrs a week automated · 15 stores on one login
The wall
Fifteen stores across Shopify, Amazon and eBay, products sourced from suppliers, and content going out on six social channels. Each part lived in its own tool and its own login. Scheduling sat in one place, tasks in another, the team in group chats, and the owner held it all together.
What I built
A scheduler that runs 43 jobs on its own: stock checks, listing syncs, order fulfilment, social publishing and reports
A tracker for the team: tasks, timesheets, schedules and who is working on what
Every store and marketplace managed from one screen
One publishing pipeline to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest and Threads
Customer chat, leads and a sales pipeline
Analytics, search performance and trend research in one dashboard
A desktop app for the team
The after
The business now runs from one login. Work that would take one full-time person about 40 hours a week happens on its own, on schedule, and the owner sees everything in one place.
Key insight
One system beats fifteen logins. When every store, channel and teammate shares one place, work that used to need a person runs on a schedule.

Want this for your business?
Every project starts with a diagnosis of how your business runs today.
NookiPets ran on Shopify, where a theme and paid apps decided what the store could do. Before moving six pet brands off it, the approach had to be proven on one.
What I built
Product catalog moved over from Shopify
The full storefront: collections, product pages, cart and checkout
Customer accounts and order history
SEO set up from the ground up
The after
NookiPets became the template: its storefront and backend are the base every other store in the group was built from. One backend and one database per store, never shared.
Key insight
Prove it on one store, then scale the pattern. Every store after NookiPets started from working code, not a blank page.
