Spoiler alert: This post isn’t about bragging. It’s about bandwidth — of both the internet and the mindset kind.
Coffee, Code, and Clients from the Future
It was still dark out in the Philippines when my phone lit up: “Meeting with Tahnee from New Zealand at 7 AM.”
Now, most people would hit snooze. I hit Start Meeting.
Why? Because when your client lives in a timezone where tomorrow already started, you learn to time-travel with your hustle.
Freelancing Without Borders
Tahnee needed a system — custom-built, clean-coded, and client-ready. No off-the-shelf bandaid, no plug-and-play shortcut. This was full-stack attention with espresso-powered precision.
And here’s the catch: we weren’t even in the same hemisphere.
She was in New Zealand. I was in my pambahay. Yet the system still went live. Seamlessly.
Lessons From a Cross-Timezone Build
This early morning project taught (or re-taught) me 3 things:
- Timezones aren’t barriers. They’re just bonus hours to get ahead.
- Remote work thrives on clarity. When your client’s asleep while you build, your process better be airtight.
- You don’t need a “work mode.” You need a get-it-done mindset, even with bedhead and birds chirping.
Why Clients From Anywhere Keep Coming Back
Clients like Tahnee trust me not just for what I build, but how I build it:
Thoughtfully
Communicatively
Without needing to “circle back next week”
I don’t just write code — I create solutions that stay awake while you sleep.

Here’s the behind-the-scenes vlog of how I took a Kiwi brief and brewed it into a fully-functioning system before the rest of the world finished breakfast:
