1. Listen
Understand the actual workflow, including the messy parts nobody documents.
Rinante M. Buntod — developer, Northern Mindanao, PH
Tell me the problem. I'll build the thing that solves it.
I make websites, apps and small systems for people who are tired of doing everything by hand. Plain tools, built for real people on slow connections.
rinante@ph:~$
rinante@ph:~$ cat about.md
A developer who starts with the person, not the stack.
I'm Rinante — most people call me Toskie. I build software for small businesses, schools, barangay offices and community groups: the places where a spreadsheet, a group chat and a lot of patience are currently holding everything together.
My work usually begins the same way. I sit with you, watch how the task is done today, and find the part that wastes the most time. Then I build the smallest thing that removes it — and I stay until you can run it without me.
2. Build small
Ship a working version early, so you react to something real instead of a mockup.
3. Hand over
Train the team, write plain-language notes, leave the keys with you.
rinante@ph:~$ ls ./skills
What I can build for you
Websites that load anywhere
Fast, mobile-first pages for shops, schools and small offices — usable on a 3G signal.
HTMLCSSJavaScriptRecords and inventory systems
Replace stacked notebooks with searchable records, user roles and monthly reports.
PHPMySQLLaravelMobile-friendly apps
Tools your team can use standing up: attendance, requests, field logging, receipts.
ReactFlutterFirebaseAutomation of repeat work
Scripts that do the copying, sorting and printing you are currently doing by hand.
PythonSheets APIDigital literacy training
Short, practical sessions so the people using the system stop being afraid of it.
WorkshopsManualsMaintenance and repair
Fixing, hosting and updating what you already have instead of rebuilding from zero.

Problems, and what I did about them
Each card shows the problem first. Tap a card to see the solution.
rinante@ph:~$ cat advocacy.txt
Technology should reach the people who need it most.
My advocacy is simple. The groups with the least support are the ones doing the most manual work, and they gain the most from one well-built tool. So I take on projects for people who usually can't afford a developer, and I build things that keep working after I leave.
Access first
Built for cheap phones, weak signal and shared devices — not for the newest laptop.
Teach, don't lock in
You get the code, the passwords and the training. Nothing is held hostage.
Fair rates
Community and student projects are priced for community and student budgets.
