We Build
Software
That Lasts.
JGStudios is a boutique software studio founded by a US military veteran and engineer. We bring military-grade discipline and engineering excellence to every product we build — from concept to launch.
Built by a Veteran.
Engineered for Scale.
"In the military, you don't get second chances. That same standard drives everything we build — no shortcuts, no excuses, just quality software delivered on time."
— James Gamboa, Founder & Principal EngineerJGStudios is not your typical outsourcing shop. We're a boutique studio where the founder writes the first line of code and reviews the last. Founded by James Gamboa — a US military veteran turned full-stack engineer — we bring a rare combination of operational discipline and technical mastery to every engagement.
Our Services
Every engagement is led directly by James — no account managers, no junior devs doing your core work. Just senior engineering from day one.
Mobile App Development
Cross-platform apps built with Flutter — one codebase, iOS and Android, tested like production depends on it.
Web Application Development
Modern web apps that scale. We build performant, SEO-optimized frontends and rock-solid backends — architected for growth from day one.
Product Strategy & MVP Design
Got an idea? We'll stress-test it, scope it, and build the leanest version that proves your concept — without burning your runway.
Backend & API Engineering
Robust APIs, cloud infrastructure, and database architecture built to handle real traffic from day one.
SEO & Search Growth
Your product can't win if nobody finds it. We build for discoverability from the ground up — technical SEO, site architecture, and performance tuning that turns Google into your best sales channel.
AI Integration & Automation
From AI-powered features to intelligent workflow automation, we integrate LLMs and smart systems into your product — so your business does more without adding headcount.
Our Products
RunKada
Metro Manila's upcoming community running app — built for runners who want more than a solo jog. RunKada connects groups across the city with real-time group runs, GPS route tracking, leaderboards, and event discovery. Built with Flutter and Firebase. Currently in beta — waitlist open.
HOAHub
HOAHub is JGStudios' second original product, approved by Apple and coming soon to the App Store. It gives homeowners associations across the Philippines one place to run the community: dues collection, announcements, maintenance requests and resident communication, without the group-chat chaos and spreadsheet chasing.

Our Battle-Tested Process
Six clear phases. No black boxes. You'll always know exactly where your project stands — and why.
Start Free Discovery Call
Discovery & Scope
We start with a deep-dive call — understanding your users, business goals, and constraints. No cookie-cutter proposals. Every scope doc is written specifically for your problem.
Design & Prototype
Before a single line of code is written, you see exactly what you're getting. Wireframes → high-fidelity designs → clickable prototype. You sign off before we build.
Agile Development Sprints
Two-week sprints with working software delivered at each cycle. You get a demo every Sprint — no waiting 3 months for a "big reveal." Stay in control at every stage.
QA & Testing
Bugs are the enemy. We run manual and automated testing on real devices before anything goes to production. Military standard: if it's not ready, it doesn't ship.
Launch & Deployment
Full App Store submission, server deployment, and go-live support. We stay online during your launch window — because launches don't wait for business hours.
Post-Launch Growth
Analytics review, user feedback integration, and roadmap planning. We're not a "build and bill" shop — we're your long-term technical partner.
