A curious mind who turned a simple idea into a successful business. But this isn’t a story about overnight success. It’s about persistence, learning, and sharing what works. From Tutorials to a Thriving Business:
Years ago, I started Codeofaninja.com—a coding tutorial site born from my love for programming and a desire to help others. For three years, I struggled. I tried every monetization strat
egy I could think of. Nothing worked. Then, I stumbled on an idea. I could sell the source codes from my tutorials. I set up an online store, uploaded my first code, and went to bed. By morning, two strangers had made a purchase. That was the spark. My first online business was born. Building SociableKIT:
That small win turned into something bigger. Today, I’m the co-founder and CEO of Codalify, the company behind SociableKIT. We build software that helps creators and website owners increase engagement by embedding social media feeds on their websites. Thousands of businesses use SociableKIT to drive growth and save time. This wasn’t luck. It was years of trial, error, and relentless focus on solving real problems for real people. What I’ve Learned:
- Small, consistent steps win the race.
- Failure is not final. Failure is feedback.
- Building something meaningful takes patience, persistence, and courage. Every challenge I faced taught me something valuable. Now, I’m sharing those lessons with others. A Few Fun Facts:
- I grew up in a small village in Rizal, Philippines, where I played with rocks and insects and dreamed big.
- I’m a lead guitarist. Slash is my hero.
- My chess rating is 1400 (on a good day). Beating my father's 2400? Still a dream.
- I built Codalify with my wife, Marykris. She’s been my biggest supporter from the start. Join Me on the Journey:
