Software engineer building resilient infrastructure, developer platforms, and AI-enabled backend systems.
I am a software engineer from DLSU who enjoys designing reliable systems where infrastructure, backend development, and automation work together. My current work blends platform engineering with practical product delivery for teams that need speed without sacrificing resilience.
I have led and shipped projects through LSCS and Thincode, and I am currently interning at Emerson while building production-style systems in my homelab. I am especially interested in DevOps, SRE, and AI-enabled workflows for developer productivity.
Outside engineering, I train Taekwondo and CrossFit, enjoy coffee and tea, and spend a lot of weekends self-hosting and experimenting with new infra tools.
