Who we are.
Symflo is a Philippine-based technology company that designs, builds, and ships software products. We're not an agency \u2014 we build our own products to solve problems we understand deeply.
John Mark Ovalo
Founder & Lead Engineer
A full-stack developer from the Philippines with 7+ years of professional experience building products that scale. From leading engineering teams on real-time communication platforms to shipping SaaS products and mobile apps — Symflo is the culmination of everything I've built and learned.
Our focus areas span SaaS platforms, mobile applications, AI-powered tools, and automation systems. Every product we create is grounded in real market needs, built with modern architecture, and designed to scale. We believe in shipping over talking, simplicity over complexity, and building things that actually work.
Ship Over Talk
Working software beats perfect documentation. We prototype fast, iterate based on feedback, and deploy continuously.
Technical Depth
We care about architecture, performance, and correctness. Quality isn't just UI-deep — it goes all the way to the infrastructure.
Market-Grounded
Every product starts with a validated problem. We build for specific markets — not abstract personas.
Simplicity First
Complexity is easy. Simplicity is hard. We aim for the simplest solution that solves the problem.
