ObraHaus is a small studio in the Philippines designing, building, and operating the infrastructure behind modern SaaS — from billing and payments to integrations, deployment, and the documentation that makes any of it usable. Filipino-founded. Made to last.
We don't separate "consulting" from "building." Every engagement involves both — a few weeks of careful thinking, then deliberate construction.
From blueprint to production. We design the system end-to-end — data flows, queues, failure modes, the right stack for your shape — then build it: backend APIs, web and mobile frontends, cloud or on-metal infrastructure. Deliberate from the first diagram to the last deploy.
We run our own servers in the Philippines. That means your data stays local, your workloads don't answer to a hyperscaler's pricing changes, and privacy is architecture — not a checkbox. We design and operate self-hosted, hybrid, and on-premise setups built to last.
Software no one understands is expensive shelf art. We document everything, run walkthroughs, mentor engineers and teams directly, and bring it to the room when needed — workshops, public talks, and the sessions that help people grow alongside the systems they use.
Products built from Filipino ground up — open to the world. We design and ship SaaS tools, mobile apps, and web platforms that understand local realities: PH infrastructure, local payment methods, the problems people here actually deal with. Made for Filipinos. Ready for anyone.
We are a small studio applying both to software systems. Every project gets the same treatment as a piece of architecture: surveyed, drawn, structured, finished, inhabited.
Every system we leave behind should feel like a building: deliberate, structural, made to be lived in for years — not quarters.
Eight years designing and operating systems — from payment infrastructure to SaaS platforms, from architecture diagrams to production deployments. He still writes the code, mentors teams, and takes the stage at workshops and events. He founded ObraHaus on a single conviction: software should be deliberate, private, and built to last. Every engagement reflects that.
We build slowly and stay long. Grouped by what it is, here is what is currently inhabited, the platform under it all, what is on the drafting table, and what we have kept open for the next collaborator.
Products we design, build, and operate for the world.
A self-hosted file converter for images, audio, video, documents, and archives. Sandboxed Docker workers on dedicated Proxmox metal — sharp, ffmpeg, LibreOffice, 7z — no tracking, no third-party SaaS in the conversion path. Designed, built, and operated end-to-end by ObraHaus.
FileForgeThe shared services every ObraHaus product is built on — one trusted foundation for everything we build.
One login across every OH product — centralized identity, SSO, and billing of record.
Metered AI & SMS gateway with per-tier credit caps — fair, predictable paid features.
Discord verification bot — links your OH account and assigns community roles.
Security gate on every pull request — dependency, secret, and code scans before merge.
On the drafting table now — more OH Apps in the making.
An AI résumé builder for Filipino jobseekers on OnlineJobs.ph. It turns a messy — or non-existent — CV into one clean, ATS-ready master résumé: a guided, Taglish-friendly intake, reviewable AI rewrites that never fabricate, and a 0–100 readiness score. The master résumé the rest of our jobseeker tools build on.
An AI job matcher and application assistant for OnlineJobs.ph. It surfaces legitimate roles with a scam-risk score, match-scores each against your résumé, and drafts tailored applications for you to review and send — never auto-submitting. Built on the master résumé from Rezume.
How we work with clients — and the next open slot.
ObraHaus's project hub — intake, scope contracts, and client portals in one place. The common ground between the studio and its clients, from brief to delivery. Currently in planning.
A slot we keep open. ObraHaus only takes on a small number of long-term engagements at a time; this is the next available window.
We take on one to two new engagements per quarter. The shorter and clearer your brief, the better.
Direct brief submission will be available here once Project · Atelier is live. For now, reach us at
