Backend APIs & data
Build REST and GraphQL APIs, event-driven services, and data workflows with Go, Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS. Connect products to the systems and data they depend on.
Ralph Vincent Bibera · Manila, Philippines
Backend, platform & cloud engineering.
I build the systems behind software products: APIs, cloud infrastructure, delivery pipelines, and AI workflows. My work spans Go and Python backends, AWS and Terraform infrastructure, and TypeScript and React applications.
I’ve worked with teams in Australia, the Philippines, and the United States, from shipping backend services to improving production reliability and helping engineers make system design decisions.

Cloud infrastructure & delivery
Set up infrastructure with Terraform and Docker, automate CI/CD, and improve production observability. Make test environments independent so teams can run pipelines concurrently.
AI workflows & developer tools
Integrate AI into working applications with human review, clear context, and repeatable processes. Build tools that help people collaborate with coding agents.
