Hire a full-stack developer in the Philippines.
KodebyKarl is led by Karl L. Darnayla, a Philippines-based software engineer who builds web apps, mobile apps and business systems himself, from the database to the screen. You talk to the person who writes the code, with a fixed quote and a clear schedule.
In short
A freelance full-stack developer designs and builds both the part users see and the server and database behind it. Working with one engineer directly means fewer handoffs, fewer misunderstandings and a person who is accountable for the whole system.
What you get.
You talk to the engineer
There is no layer of account managers. The person who builds your system is the person who answers your messages.
Full-stack delivery
Front end, back end, database, hosting and deployment from one place, in TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, Python, PHP and PostgreSQL.
Web, mobile and hardware
A single project can include a web dashboard, an iOS and Android app and connected hardware such as receipt printers or NFC cards.
A fixed quote
After a short discovery call you receive a written quote with deliverables, milestones and a timeline, in pesos or US dollars.
Regular demos
Work happens in two-week sprints with demos on a staging site, so you see the real system while changes are still cheap.
Support after launch
A bug warranty of at least 30 days, and an optional monthly retainer for maintenance, backups and small changes.
Experience you can check
Karl has been building software professionally since 2022, with more than twenty projects completed. They include MCFG Cloud, a VPN management platform serving over a thousand active users in 5+ countries; booking websites for more than ten Philippine bus companies; point of sale and inventory systems; and the official city apps MyNaga for Naga City and KaisaKa for Santiago City, built with EasyBus PH.
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from Our Lady of Fatima University and fourteen certifications in networking, cybersecurity and web development, including Cisco CCNA courses.
What you can hire for
Websites and online stores, custom business software and SaaS platforms, mobile apps for iOS and Android, point of sale and inventory systems, UI and UX design, maintenance of an existing system, and IT networking. Each of these has its own page with what is included and how the work goes.
Working with clients in the Philippines and abroad
KodebyKarl works with local and international clients. Quotes can be in Philippine pesos or US dollars, and payment is by bank transfer, GCash, Maya, PayMongo, Stripe, PayPal, or Wise for international invoices. Payment follows three milestones, 40% at signing, 30% at a working staging build and 30% at sign-off, and you own the code once the final payment is made.
Work behind this.
