02 — Story

From Turbo Pascal to Modern Tools.

I wrote my first code in high school in 2002, in Turbo Pascal, C and HTML. Today I build with modern tools as my team: I plan the product, direct the build, test it hard and ship it. That's how a month can hold this many projects.

2002

First code in high school

Turbo Pascal, C and HTML.

Studies

Electronics & Communications Engineering

Where I learned signals, automation and PLCs, and wrote my first Pascal programs.

5 years

GMA 7 Cebu

Hands-on media coverage across news, sports and entertainment: camera work, video editing, marketing and graphic design.

2 years

Saudi Arabia

Telecom technician with ABANA, contracted to STC and Mobily. Hands-on UTP cabling and cable management across thousands of lines, plus precision fibre optic splicing.

2019 – 2021 · 2 years

New Zealand

Pine tree planter across the central North Island. From the tropical heat of the Philippines to freezing mornings in the forests near Taupo's snow-capped mountains, a tough job few people last in. It taught me grit, discipline and how to keep going when it's hard.

2021 – Current · 5+ years

Rural Design, Northland

Planter, with hands-on skills in landscaping and site layout. Here I've learned how important native plants are and the role they play in restoring the land, the waterways and the wildlife that depend on them.

After hours

Founder, Arkins Solutions

By day I work the land. After hours I build websites, apps and automated systems, and that's where every project on this page was made.

03 — How I work

How I work.

Strong logic and solid programming fundamentals mean I can take on almost any problem and keep working it until it's solved. No big demos up front. Just tell me what eats your time.

01

Tell me the idea

A problem in your business, a project in your head, or something you wish existed. Big or small, I listen first.

02

I build it

Websites of every kind, phone apps, custom software, dashboards, booking and invoicing systems, online stores, business and personal portfolios. If it runs on a screen, I can build it.

03

You see it live

You try it on your own phone before you commit. Then I launch it and keep it running smoothly.

04 — Contact

Got a problem eatingyour time? Let's talk.

Tell me about it. I'll build the fix and show you.
