type Matt = "Graphic Designer" | "Video Editor" | "Software Engineer";
Since 2018, I've made reels, promos, and layouts for businesses across Iloilo — work that shipped, not just studied. Now I bring that same attention to detail to software as a Software Engineering student at Central Philippine University.

I handled cinematography and video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro — the tuning day recap reached over 11K views and 139 reactions on Facebook.
CHJ Iloilo brought me on as a seasonal LED Wall Content Editor from April 2024 through February 2026, preparing visual content for their event LED wall displays.
The role ran across multiple seasons and leaned heavily on time management and Photoshop work to keep content ready on a recurring schedule.
Paddle and Pedal is a full-stack platform I built for a real pickleball club: a public site, member accounts, court reservations, and a live pay-on-site open-play queue with a real-time court-status board, plus an admin dashboard staff use to run the floor day to day.
Built solo on Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions) with Postgres via Prisma and hand-rolled auth — bcrypt password hashing plus signed, httpOnly session cookies, no third-party auth service. The open-play queue is a FIFO system (REQUESTED → WAITING → PLAYING) with native HTML5 drag-and-drop for staff to assign players onto courts, live per-player and per-game countdown timers, and auto-fill logic that seats the next group with a grace period whenever a court frees up. Covered by Vitest unit tests and Playwright end-to-end tests, deployed on Vercel with a Postgres backend.
Relay is a fast, secure file and code sharing service I built — upload files, snip code, or remote-pull between machines, with both a classic web UI and a terminal-style interface.
Free tier plus a Relay Plus tier for higher limits and no ads, with a public API for programmatic uploads. This portfolio's own admin dashboard runs its image uploads through that same API.
Banko is a personal finance app built around plain-English input — type "coffee 5.50" or "1.5k rent" and it parses the amount, date, and category before you finish typing.
Also handles self-tracking budgets, searchable transaction history, and up to 3 linked accounts, with data encrypted in transit and at rest. AI-assisted parsing is optional and off by default.
Stackr is a booking, queue, and POS platform for pickleball and racket clubs — court reservations with live pricing, a pay-on-site open-play queue, and a point-of-sale terminal in one hosted dashboard.
White-labelled with each club's own name and logo, flat-rate pricing with no per-court or per-member fees. Built on the same real, working codebase as Paddle and Pedal.
Phonix is a language-learning app built around removing language barriers — quick reading lessons, listening practice, and streak-based learning, with Google sign-in or a no-signup guest mode.
A lighter, focused take on the read/listen/learn loop, still early and evolving.
MSL Performance is a site for custom JDM performance parts — turbo, suspension, and mags built and tested in-house before they ship, rather than sold off the shelf. The parts shop is still coming soon.
Already live: a free browser-based GPS quarter-mile timer tracking 0-60, 0-100, 1/8 and 1/4 mile splits and trap speed, plus run history, a leaderboard, and a social feed. Built on Next.js.
Beyond producing content, DC Autoworkz also brought me on part-time as their Social Media Manager from May to July 2025 — a formal role running their channels, not just a per-project brief.
I managed their day-to-day social presence and content calendar, on top of cinematography and advertising work across their pages.
The Peer Project is a youth advocacy initiative associated with PAREF Westbridge. I've served as a Junior Advocate since August 2023.
Outside client work, this is where I put design and communication skills toward peer support and advocacy rather than a commercial brief.
About
// bioDesign software and dev tools, side by side — the stack I actually work in.
My name is Matthew Estilo, but people call me Matt. I'm a social media content creator based in Iloilo — I've spent the last few years making videos, reels, and graphic design work for local brands and businesses, and I'm currently a 2nd-year Software Engineering student at Central Philippine University. Design work taught me to think about how something looks and reads at a glance; engineering taught me to think about how it's built underneath. I try to bring both to everything I make.
Let's make
something good.
