Based in the Philippines, I started out as a designer—Photoshop, slicing, dicing, chasing pixels. But I quickly hit a wall. Translating visuals into the web felt broken, manual, and disconnected. That frustration pulled me into front-end development, where I discovered I could recreate my designs perfectly with just CSS. I was hooked.

From there, it spiraled into obsession. I dove into front-end with frameworks like React—fascinated by how data could shape interfaces. But the tooling changed fast, too fast. Every month, a new framework, a new build tooling, a new way to solve the same problem. The chase burned me out—so I went deeper.

I explored systems architecture, databases, and how real applications are delivered end-to-end. That's when I hit another wall: raw data wasn't enough. That's when AI clicked for me—not as a novelty, but as a tool to make systems intelligent, interfaces useful, and workflows adaptive.

Now, I build from a different place. Still obsessed with design, still addicted to front-end, but with a systems brain—and a clear mission--To craft the tools and interfaces that let AI actually do work.
