JEFF KENT BUENAFLOR — METRO MANILA, PH

A designer’s eye. A builder’s mindset.

I design interfaces and build the systems behind them. Fifteen years of hands-on work, with care for both the details people see and the ones they never have to.

01 — THE NUMBERS

A career you can count.

Years of hands-on engineering, alongside the agentic delivery practices I have put into use. The figures come from git history and pull-request records.

02 — HOW I DELIVER

Agentic workflows, grounded in real results.

I’ve implemented agentic workflows and the Verified Delivery Cycle (VDC) to help turn a clear scope into working software. I use agents to build and check work, bring in independent review where the change calls for it, run targeted tests, and verify the result people actually receive. I keep the design decisions and final judgment human.

29×the delivery pace of the previous nine years, measured on the same pull-request yardstick

Scope the work, build with agents, review the change, test what matters, and check the delivered experience. The method adapts to the risk and the work.

03 — THE MACHINES I LEFT RUNNING

Automation that survives the weekend.

A platform a lean team can hold has to run itself. These are systems I built for Moneybees that work while nobody is watching.

Agents support scoped engineering work, with checks, independent review when needed, and evidence of the delivered result.

Backup sentinelRESILIENCE

Proves every production backup vault holds a fresh, restorable recovery point — and wakes me on the phone when one goes stale.

daily, 30h freshness gate

Regression guardsQUALITY

Every defect and pentest finding becomes a named, re-runnable guard class, so a bug fixed once stays fixed on every later change.

Coherence probes, deploy smoke tests, gap detectors and watchdogs sweep the estate and speak up only when something is wrong.

04 — STILL AN ENGINEER

The AI is augmentation, not substitution.

I still design interfaces, make engineering decisions, and write code. The git history reflects years of that hands-on work.

05 — THE ROAD

Designer first. Engineer always.

2020 – NOW

Moneybees Engineering Manager

Joined as the engineering lead of a BSP-licensed crypto exchange. Carried the platform through two generations, delivered the AFASA regulatory engineering program on deadline, and stood up a three-account AWS estate under BSP-approved outsourcing. In 2026, I turned the whole delivery model AI-augmented.

2014 – 2020

Paylance Senior Software Engineer

Wrote the majority of the platform: AngularJS front, Node.js and PostgreSQL back, deployed on AWS with ECS and CodePipeline.

2014 – 2016

PocketMarket UI Designer and Full-Stack Engineer

Owned the interface end to end and crossed into Node.js on the backend.

2012 – 2014

Bazinga Senior UI Engineer and Designer

Early AngularJS and React, back when picking a framework was a bet, not a default.

2011 – 2012

PayrollHero UI Designer and Developer

Designed interfaces in Photoshop and shipped them in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Learned that the pixel and the code belong to the same person.
