about this site

Hi, I'm Bryan Bibat and I'm a freelance software engineer based in Taguig City, Philippines. I have 5 years of experience in developing software, mainly web applications.

contact me

For inquiries, you can contact me at my e-mail address bry@bryanbibat.net.

As a web developer, I could code a simple contact form and embed it here. But I'm bored, so here's a Wufoo contact form instead.

my works

While I may have worked with a bunch of platforms (and almost all major commercial databases) in my previous work, I can't put them here because of these three letters: NDA.

Given that all of my major projects for the HK SARG, I chose not to include them in my portfolio rather than risk having Jackie Chan or Jet Li-type policemen barge in my house and take me away somewhere.

Anyway, here is my portfolio, a short list of stuff I made post-Azeus:

web applications

Warehouse Inventory and Invoicing

In production

I assisted a friend in the development of this web application which was for his friend's sales and distribution company in Naga City. It's a pretty straightforward app with basic features like user roles and workflows.

  • Ruby on Rails
  • mySQL
  • a bit of jQuery

Online Organization Roster

Proposal submitted, pending beta testing

My university organization is almost 10 years old now and as an alumnus I'm having trouble keeping up with the new members being added to the org every year. I made this prototype program to give the current members a starting point in case they would agree to my proposal of having an online roster.

  • Ruby on Rails
  • mySQL

Plurk Scheduler

Online, open to the public

Plurk is a microblogging site that focuses on conversations instead of Twitter's shout-to-the-world approach. It also has a "Karma" system that rewards or penalizes users based on the number of posts they made per day, thus prompting me to make this application that automates posting.

Nah, who am I kidding? I just made this app when I realized that I don't have a web app in this portfolio that is open to the public.

  • Ruby on Rails
  • mySQL
  • Plurk API

bio

I'm a software engineer by trade (i.e. my money came from years of being a corporate drone) but now I'm on a hiatus, spending my time playing online games doing research for my blog and taking occassional freelance jobs.

Aside from Software Engineering and anime culture, I'm also into computers (anything from hardware to games), fitness, singing, and precision sports. My bookshelf mainly contains manga, some computer science and software engineering books, and some management books.

My contact details are at the end of the services section above.
