My Story
I build what I want to play — and tools that help others ship.
I am a developer and artist focused on games and software. Online I go by Auguste. I write systems, design interfaces, create art, and ship work people can play, download, and build with.
My work sits at the intersection of craft and engineering: playable games with original visuals, and software tools shaped by real production needs. I care about clear scopes, reliable delivery, and work that holds up after launch.
Whether you find me as Auguste or James Raphael Ibay, commissioning custom work means the same thing: organized communication, production focus, and a process built for trust.

2023 — Present
Applications Developer — Asia Pacific College
As an Applications Developer, I design, develop, deploy, and maintain custom software solutions that improve organizational efficiency and streamline business operations. My work spans full-stack application development, database-driven systems, automation, and cloud and on-premises deployments, with a focus on building reliable solutions tailored to real-world business needs. I have developed and maintained systems for areas including human resources, academic operations, facility management, and internal process automation. Beyond development, I provide technical consulting and mentorship to students and individuals, helping them design, build, and deploy software projects from concept to implementation.
Why clients trust the process
I write scopes down. I show progress at milestones. Free itch.io downloads are separate from commission payment (agreed after scope). Legal pages cover terms, privacy, and licenses so expectations are visible before we start.
