About Me

Engineer. Founder.
Tech Builder.

I'm a Civil Engineer and AI Engineer from the Philippines — someone who has worked professionally in AI and spent years building real things across tech, engineering, and business. I founded QuickFresh Philippines, the country's first helmet cleaning vending machine business, sourcing machines from Singapore and Taiwan, navigating importation and logistics solo, and ultimately landing 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 that I founded during the COVID-19 pandemic as a means of survival. With no prior experience, I self-taught international product sourcing — attending the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, China (the world's largest trade fair) in person to connect with suppliers and discover new product innovations. I navigated importation, customs, B2B supplier negotiations, logistics, and Meta Ads digital advertising 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.

On the AI side, I worked at Amigda Labs as an AI Engineer Intern and then Junior AI Engineer for a full year — automating business workflows and training AI bots. I led the UI/UX development of QuickFresh Vending Machine v2's onscreen interface, built and launched Patrolyo PH during the national fuel crisis, and I'm currently an AWS AI Practitioner scholar through Udacity and a McKinsey Forward Program graduate.

I'm not transitioning into tech. I've been doing tech work — professionally, as an AI Engineer. Now I'm looking for the next role where I can go deeper, specialize further, and build AI solutions that create real-world impact.
