About

I'm Reynard Patrick Jalosjos, but everyone calls me RJ. I'm the person who sees a slow, manual process and immediately starts wondering whether software could do it better.

Usually it can. I've spent my career turning everyday operational problems into systems people actually use, for teams in the Philippines, the US, Canada, Australia and Ireland. I joke that automating work saves time, which saves money, which hopefully means better bonuses. I'm only half joking.

Right now I'm building a scheduling assistant for an Australian field-service team, and learning Azure's security tools on the side.

  • Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Developer (PL-400)
  • Power Platform Fundamentals (PL-900)

How I got here

  1. 2023

    Computer Science at iACADEMY

    BS Computer Science, specialising in software engineering. I graduated Magna Cum Laude, and my thesis checked diplomas with QR codes backed by a blockchain record.

  2. Then

    Operations engineering

    An internship that turned into a role in change and release management at a global consumer technology company. Reviewing production changes taught me that automation has to be boringly reliable. Then I started automating the boring parts of my own job.

  3. Alongside

    Clients around the world

    Freelance and contract work for teams in the US, Canada, Australia and Ireland: healthcare, energy, hospitality, retail, marketing and HR. Mostly because I wanted to keep learning, and new problems are the fastest way to do that.

  4. Since

    Senior Power Platform developer

    Power Apps, complex flows, SharePoint, Dataverse and Power BI for a Canadian company and its partners, including moving old InfoPath and SharePoint Designer processes onto something people can maintain.

  5. Now

    Agents, integrations, Azure

    More system-level work: AI agents that sit on top of reliable workflows, APIs, optimisation, and in 2026 the Azure security tooling. I passed PL-900 and PL-400 this year.

How I work

  • Start with the problem

    Before any app or flow, I want to know why something is done by hand, who does it, and what changes if it stops. Half the time the answer shapes the whole build.

  • Useful beats clever

    The most sophisticated solution is rarely the point. Sometimes a well-made form and one good flow fix the real problem, and that's the right call.

  • Hide the complexity

    People using a business app shouldn't need to understand what's underneath. Good software makes difficult operations feel ordinary.

  • Think about the whole workflow

    The interface, the data, permissions, notifications, errors, deployment and who maintains it next year. Skipping any one of those is how automations break at 2 a.m.

  • AI needs a job

    I like AI agents, but only where they reduce real work. Structured outputs, checks and a person in the loop for anything that matters.
