01 / Selected work

Systems with stakes.

6 product ecosystems spanning consumer intelligence, finance, operations, project delivery, and mobile commerce. Each case study opens the decisions behind the interface.

Personal Shopping Intelligence

Presylo

  • Receipt photo capture with OCR-assisted line-item review and manual fallback
  • Normalized unit pricing across different package sizes and quantities

02 / Practice

Technical leadership is a teaching discipline.

My work sits between system architecture, delivery, and the conversations that keep both moving.

I've spent 17+ years in technology and 13+ years building software—from teaching programming in Calapan City to leading enterprise frontend teams.

Today I specialize in Angular systems, frontend architecture, team mentorship, and pragmatic AI-assisted engineering. I work across product and platform boundaries, translating ambiguous requirements into systems people can maintain.

01

Make complexity legible

Architecture should help the next developer understand the system, not advertise the architect.

02

Modernize with intent

I replace legacy patterns where they create friction, while protecting the business knowledge embedded in them.

03

Use AI with judgment

Speed matters. So do review, traceability, and knowing when the model is confidently wrong.

03 / Experience

A career built from the classroom outward.

The thread is consistent: explain the hard parts, improve the system, and leave the team stronger.
