Built by someone who figured it out the hard way.

I'm John Gale Garcia — a self-taught web developer based in the Philippines. I didn't start with a degree or a bootcamp. I started in 2021 building Discord bots on my own, just figuring things out as I went. That curiosity pushed me into web development in 2022 and I haven't stopped since.

After almost three years of building for the web, I started Presencia Lab with one goal in mind — help local businesses get online without the complicated process, the bloated agencies, or the overpriced quotes. Most small businesses deserve a great website. They just need someone who actually gives a damn.

That's what Presencia Lab is. Not an agency. Not a template mill. Just me, building clean and fast websites for businesses that are ready to show up online.
