John Berlyn Isip (JB) · Lead Specialist at NGCP

Senior full-stack developer who automates the manual work.

13+ years shipping production software in Python/Django, C#/.NET, Vue, React, and SvelteKit. I automate workflows, connect the systems you already use, and build the internal tools off-the-shelf software can’t.

02 / How a project runs

From first conversation to life after launch.

  1. 01

    Map

    Talk to the people doing the work. Map the rules and the exceptions.

  2. 02

    Build

    Pick the fit: a workflow, an integration, or a custom app.

  3. 03

    Ship

    Test the business rules, document the system, release.

  4. 04

    Maintain

    Maintenance is part of the job, not an afterthought.

AI-assisted, with accountability. Codex, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot support development. I review the code, validate the behavior, and own the result.

07 / About

A developer. A teammate. A community member.

I’m JB, based in Quezon City. I like learning how a business runs, then making the hard or repetitive part of someone’s day easier. I’ve led enterprise projects, contributed to architecture, and mentored junior and mid-level developers.

Outside software, I serve as a youth pastor at Come to Jesus Church Montalban and consult for GFMIC, Inc.

08 / Speaking

Also at the front of the room.

Now and then I step away from the editor to talk about data and the systems behind financial management work.

2019GFMIC, Inc. · Membership Conference

Membership Conference CY 2019

“Landscaping Financial Management: The Essential Use of Data and Data Analytics”

My case to the room: data is the gold, not the paperwork it arrives in. Refined, raw records become business intelligence and then forecasting, so the next decision rests on what the numbers say rather than on a hunch.

I used BITBo to make that concrete, the Barangay IT Robot, a GFMIC app that keeps a barangay’s records in one place: profiles and citizens, clearances, blotter cases, local businesses, legislation.

BITBo on gfmic.ph

The audience was GFMIC members, financial management practitioners from government agencies.
