I build AI-powered tools and data products that solve real problems.
Everything I make ships in public and stays up — 4 live products, a free website template every single day, and 1,219 researched fix guides that each come with a script you can run.

§ 03 Field notes
1219 fixes, each with a script that runs
Researched guides that find one real problem with a small Python or Node.js script. Every one has diagrams, the full script in both languages, and the tests that prove it works. The platform scripts repair what they find and start in a dry run that writes nothing; the API scripts never write at all, because they hold a credential to a live payments or messaging account. All of them are free and open source.

Open for collaboration
A founding engineer or technical co-founder seat at an early startup, and collaboration on AI, data and AWS work.
CONNECT ON LINKEDINI'm an AI and Software Engineer based in Talisay, Cebu, Philippines. I build intelligent products that combine data analytics with modern AI — from data pipelines and visualizations to full applications powered by state-of-the-art machine learning models.
My work spans the whole stack: data engineering and analysis, AI/ML application development, and the fullstack and AWS infrastructure to ship and run them — DNS, SSL, and servers included. I care about making AI practical and accessible through well-designed software.
I ship in public and a lot: a growing portfolio of live products across AI tools, Cebu-focused services, trading, and SaaS — plus a year-long project releasing one free, MIT-licensed website template every day.
I'm not looking for a job in the usual sense. I'm looking for something to build and people to build it with: a founding engineer or technical co-founder seat at a startup early enough that the product is still being decided, or a collaboration on a hard problem in AI, data or AWS. If you're building something, I'd love to hear about it.
01
Ship early, learn fast
A working prototype in two weeks beats a perfect plan in six months. I launch the moment there's something real to put in front of users.
02
Data first, AI on top
Good products start with understanding the data. I pair solid data engineering with modern AI/ML so features are genuinely useful, not just flashy.
03
Small products, real problems
I build focused tools that solve a genuine pain point — from privacy-first web apps to Cebu-specific services — rather than chasing scale for its own sake.
04
End-to-end ownership
Design, data, AI, and the AWS infrastructure it runs on — DNS, SSL, and servers included. I ship the whole thing and keep it running.
§ 07 Contact
Open for collaboration
Let's build something together
I'm not looking for a job in the usual sense. I'm looking for something to build and people to build it with — at a startup early enough that the product is still being decided, or on a problem that has been stuck for a while.
-
Technical co-founder
A startup early enough that CTO would be a title without a department. Deciding what to build, building the first version of it, and owning the infrastructure it runs on.
-
Founding engineer
First or early engineer on a small team. Shipping product and the AWS it runs on, and setting the conventions the next engineers inherit.
-
Collaboration
Co-building a product, open-source work, or a stubborn problem in AI, data engineering or cloud cost. Paid or not, depending on what it is.
Tell me what you're working on and what's in your way. LinkedIn is the fastest way to reach me.
Connect on LinkedInIf my open-source work or writing has helped you, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi. No obligation — I build in public regardless.
