Engineer. Founder. Tech Builder.
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.
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 work focused on real estate and construction, managing projects and building automations that streamlined how construction teams operate. It's a space I know deeply, and one where I can see exactly how much better things could run with the right tech. 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'm currently enrolled in the AWS AI Practitioner program through Udacity, and 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.
