About

I'm Van Garcia, a Lead Generation Manager, business systems builder, and licensed mechanical engineer. My work brings together lead generation, data management, and software development.

I studied mechanical engineering at Lyceum of the Philippines University – Cavite and became a licensed mechanical engineer. My career eventually took a different direction, but my engineering background continues to influence how I approach problems and build solutions.

I started working in lead generation in 2020 at Tagetik, researching B2B prospects and decision-makers across APAC markets. In 2022, I began working with LocalVR, where I later became Lead Generation Manager. My work involves researching short-term rental properties, verifying ownership and contact information, managing Salesforce lead data, and improving research processes.

Alongside my professional work, I started developing web applications and business tools. I'm building TAPAT, a digital identity platform, and Printayo, a print shop management system. I also founded MATIK NA 'YAN, an AI automation and business systems agency, and co-own Sibs Creative, a digital printing business.

What connects these different areas of my work is an interest in making complicated or repetitive processes easier to manage. Whether I'm researching data, building an application, or working on a business, I focus on practical solutions that people can actually use.
