Wrote an orchestration tool that provides 'self-service' capabilities for tasks such as database and application server restarts, log retrieval, initiation of cold backups, among others. Commonly requested tasks had to go through the service request queues before being acted on. The tool significantly decreased these requests from development and operations teams, improving their own workflows.

Created and deployed a management tool for setting scheduled jobs from a centralized repository. Scheduled jobs were previously stored and managed locally. With the sync tool, jobs were centrally managed from a source code repository, and pulled by the corresponding servers, thus improving the scheduling workflow and minimizing errors. This project was accepted in the League of Professional System Administrators (LOPSA) Mentorship Program (https://lopsa.org/mentor).

Maintains an automation script for deploying Oracle applications that streamlines the development process. The deployment script, used within the Oracle web UI, was not actively maintained, and with numerous feature requests and issues submitted by the development teams. Upon assumption of code maintenance, the feature requests and bugs were reduced to less than 10%.

Created a web application that interfaced with a service fulfillment facility. The application significantly streamlined the creation and closure of service requests for common tasks.

Deployed and maintained the Farmers' Contact Center web application in collaboration with the DOST Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI). With the app, farmers and agricultural extension workers can send queries, and receive tips through SMS.

Developed and maintained the web portal for the Pinoy Farmers' Internet.
