I build things that work — and try to leave code a little cleaner than I found it.
I'm a Software Engineer at Xeleqt AI, working with React and AWS to ship AI-powered products. Outside of work, I'm also an entrepreneur — I've founded and run real businesses, and when the existing tools weren't good enough, I built better ones.
I didn't build from scratch for the sake of it. I built because I saw what was missing.
Most of my projects start with a problem I understand firsthand — then get refined by the people who use them. They're live, actively used, and built to keep working for whoever needs them next.
I'm a Computer Engineering graduate (Magna Cum Laude) and the first exchange engineering student from my university — representing the Philippines in Vietnam. I've spent four years leading student organizations, teaching English on the side as an ESL teacher, and learning that the best ideas usually come from listening to what people actually struggle with.
I picked up a camera before I wrote my first line of code. I still think like a photographer: frame the problem carefully before you build anything.
I love it when engineering meets real-world impact — and where the work actually matters to the people using it.
