Turning complex workflows into clean, reliable software.
I'm Jerwin Arnado — a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Laravel, Drupal, and Vue.js. Since 2018 I've built SaaS platforms, clinic systems, ERP modules, and the open-source tools I wish existed.
About
More than just making features work
I focus on structure, maintainability, user experience, performance, accessibility, and long-term scalability. My goal is to build software that feels simple for users, reliable for teams, and strong enough to grow with the business.

SEO, AEO, and GEO: Optimizing for Search, Answers, and Generative Engines
Search isn't one game anymore. SEO ranks you on Google, AEO wins the featured-answer box and voice results, and GEO gets you cited inside ChatGPT, Claude, and AI Overviews. What each one actually optimizes for, where they overlap, and how I'd build a page to win all three.

Availability and Recovery: When It Breaks, How Fast Do You Come Back?
Everything fails eventually. Availability is staying up despite failure; recovery is getting back fast when you can't. Backups you've actually restored, redundancy, RTO/RPO, and the runbook you'll be glad you wrote.

Available for select projects
I take on a small number of freelance and consulting engagements — Laravel, Drupal, and Vue.js builds, SaaS platforms, clinic and ERP systems, API integrations, and untangling software that has outgrown its original design. If that sounds like your problem, let's talk.
