iOS engineer based in Cebu

Jonrel Baclayon.
I design and ship iOS products.

I turn complex mobile requirements into clear, reliable experiences across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, Android, and Windows. Five years of production work, from realtime media to App Store delivery.

Featured work

Proof in shipped products.

The portfolio opens like a product keynote because the work is product work: streaming apps, enterprise tools, realtime systems, and a live Android Bible app on Google Play.

Live on Android

Lumen: Tagalog & Cebuano Bible

Read and listen to the Holy Bible offline in Tagalog, Cebuano, and English. Lumen focuses on daily Scripture, offline Bible audio, highlights, bookmarks, widgets, and a calm reading experience on Android.

AI workflow

AI is part of the toolchain, not the product judgment.

I use AI-assisted development to shorten loops, generate options, and inspect edge cases while keeping architecture, debugging, UX quality, and release decisions human-owned.

  1. 1

    Spec

    Translate requirements and Figma details into testable implementation notes.

  2. 2

    Build

    Use Claude, Cursor, Speckit, Codex, and Copilot for faster iteration.

  3. 3

    Verify

    Debug, profile, compare UI, and tighten the edge cases before release.

  4. 4

    Ship

    Move through App Store or Play Store readiness with production discipline.

About

Built for calm, precise execution.

I enjoy creating beautiful products, not just writing code. The center of my work is quality: clear architecture, polished UI, reliable integrations, and the patience to make production behavior boring in the best way.
