I'm a licensed Civil Engineer from the Philippines and an SM Foundation Scholar during college. My path into tech started when I began automating my own businesses, building systems, streamlining operations, and cutting out manual work. That curiosity led me to explore AI, and what started as a practical tool quickly became a full-on obsession. I founded QuickFresh Philippines, the country's first helmet cleaning vending machine business. I sourced machines from Singapore and Taiwan, navigated importation and logistics on my own, and ultimately landed a landmark collaboration with Angkas, the Philippines' largest motorcycle ride-hailing platform. GMA's Pera Paraan featured us on national television, not because we advertised, but because the product genuinely worked.
Alongside QuickFresh, I spent 5+ years running an end-to-end ecommerce operation I founded during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. It was my way of creating and building during a time when most people were waiting. With no prior experience, I self-taught international product sourcing and attended the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, China (the world's largest trade fair) in person to meet manufacturers and discover new products. I handled importation, customs, B2B supplier negotiations, logistics, and Meta Ads entirely on my own. I didn't outsource any of it. I built the systems, then automated them into a passive income model so I could focus on what comes next.
My development journey began at KodaCamp, where I developed a foundation in frontend development and learned how to turn ideas into functional digital experiences. Since then, I have expanded into full-stack and Android app development, building ecommerce platforms, seller dashboards, backend workflows, mobile experiences, and business automations with tools such as Supabase and Google Cloud.
On the AI side, I spent over a year at Amigda Labs as an AI Engineer, automating business workflows and developing AI agents. Alongside that, I also took on freelance civil engineering and full-stack development work, managing real-world projects and building automations that streamline operations. I led the UI/UX development of QuickFresh Vending Machine v2's onscreen interface and built and launched Patrolyo PH during the national fuel crisis. I completed the AWS AI Practitioner Challenge through Udacity and earned a verified Certificate of Course Completion in June 2026. I'm also a McKinsey Forward Program graduate.
I'm not transitioning into tech. I've been doing tech work professionally. Now I'm looking for the next role where I can go deeper, specialize further, and build AI solutions that create real-world impact.
