✦ Open to new opportunities
Hey, I'm Alanray Baltazar Elangos.
i build saas products, internal tools, and web apps using modern web technologies like next.js, shadcn, and supabase - mostly because i enjoy creating things i'd actually want to use myself.
✦ About Me
So... who am I?
I've spent the last 5+ years working with React, Next.js, Node.js, and Supabase, building things like multi-tenant apps, real-time features, payments with Stripe, role-based access, and admin dashboards - basically everything you'd expect in a normal SaaS.
A lot of the time I'm just messing around with ideas, trying to simplify things that feel overly complicated, and turning them into something usable.
I'm also usually drawn to business ideas that feel like they could actually go somewhere, so I end up building those out when I can.
💡 One thing I'm proud of recently was building a custom e-signing platform to replace our PandaDoc setup - it came out of necessity more than anything. It brought costs down from around $10k-$15k/month to about $2.5k, while still covering what we actually needed and giving us more control over the system.

✦ Stuff I'm proud of
Things I've personally enjoyed building
Built an in-house PandaDoc replacement
This came from a real need - the company wanted an in-house solution instead of relying on PandaDoc. So I built a full multi-tenant e-signing platform from the ground up, kept compliance and audit trails intact, and brought costs down from around $10K-$15K/month to ~$2.5K. We are planning to open source it soon!
Uwak is Life - built for my dad, turned into a whole platform
My dad's a content creator in the gamefowl scene, so I built him a platform where he and his community could hang out, share content, and run events. It grew into a full-on superapp with event promotions, match results and rankings, community content, and business listings.
Work Wanders - building a travel app with friends
This one's a passion project with friends. We're making discovering and booking experiences feel way more fun and less corporate booking site energy. I'm leading development and shaping the product as it evolves.

✦ The Toolbox
Things I actually use
Here's the stack I usually reach for depending on the job - from frontend work and backend systems to infrastructure, integrations, and self-hosted tools.
Languages
Frontend
Backend
Cloud and Infrastructure
Architecture
Integrations
Authentication and Security
Messaging and Email
Observability and Tooling
AI and Self-hosted Systems
✦ Infrastructure
Where I usually ship things
I’ve deployed across AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, and Hetzner, and I like setups that are cheap, reliable, and don’t turn into a maintenance horror story. This one’s running on a Hetzner bare metal server… you know, just a casual flex.
✦ AI Playground
Yes, I self-host AI too
I like experimenting with AI and self-hosting my own setups — it’s fun, and not everything needs another subscription. Also, yeah… AI helped build parts of this page.

✦ Don't be a stranger
Let's build something cool
I'm open to senior roles, consulting work, and interesting projects.
If you've got something you're building, thinking about building, or stuck on - feel free to reach out. I usually reply pretty fast.
Or we can still have a good argument about build vs. buy.
Everything here is real. And yes - the cost savings were very real too. 😄
