I like owning a product end to end, from the client's first call to the database row to the hover state.
I'm Krystal, a technical project manager at Zen Companies who never stopped coding. I graduated Cum Laude in Computer Science from USTP in Cagayan de Oro, where I wandered happily between machine-learning research, a flower marketplace and game jams.
These days I run delivery for our team across six products, from client calls and PRDs to code review and release. I still ship full-stack across them too: Laravel and Supabase back ends, Stripe booking flows, role-based auth, Slack integrations and React front ends down to the WebGL on our company site. This portfolio is where I get to play, just for me.

Things I've built.
Lately at Zen Companies, one small team in the Philippines building and running its own software, and before that at school. Scroll to open each app, or tap one in the dock.
The Content Lab — Video production platform
01Video production platform
A video agency's whole client cycle: book a call, then follow the shoot through editing, review and delivery.
“no more discovery calls booked with a typo'd email”
Zenalytics — Analytics and customer hub
02Analytics and customer hub
One place to see what customers do after they sign up, what they are worth, and what each product costs to run.
“first impressions start at the login screen”
Zen Marine Charters — Booking site, portal and invoicing
03Booking site, portal and invoicing
Booking for a private yacht charter: pick a trip, pay through Stripe Checkout, and it lands on the operator's Google Calendar.
“the call button is gold now. it had to be gold.”
Zen Intent — B2B lead generation
04B2B lead generation
A lead-generation platform for businesses: lead lists are generated in the background and land in a customer portal, billed through Stripe.
“keep the board honest and the releases calm”
ViralTube Exploder — AI thumbnail and title generator
05AI thumbnail and title generator
Gemini-powered titles and thumbnails for YouTube creators: pick a style, add your face, and get click-worthy options back.
“yes, there is a MrBeast style”
Zenith — HR system
06HR system
The team's home base: attendance, leave, performance reviews and onboarding.
“‘today’ now means today in Manila, not in UTC”
Edelweiss — Flower-shop marketplace
07Flower-shop marketplace
A marketplace I built for florists across Northern Mindanao: browse local shops, compare prices and personalise an arrangement.
“where blooms meet convenience”
02 · How I got here
Computer Science Student Society (CS³), USTP
A brand-new department with no seniors to show us how. Our board built the society from nothing, and I ran its money: transparent budgets for our first workshops and events.
✦ Gold Unit Organization Award, in our first year
MeldCX Philippines
My first production codebase. I turned Figma designs into interactive React, TypeScript and Tailwind screens, made a large multi-level marketing platform responsive, and fixed the frontend bugs I found along the way.
✦ First real codebase: from Figma to shipped React
Zen Companies PH
One small team building software for very different markets. I started out shipping full-stack features, then ran delivery for the whole team while still coding.
✦ Six products and counting
03 · What's in my pantry
Whether it's a project, a question about something I built, or just to swap favorite CSS tricks, my door is open. I read everything, usually with something warm to drink.
