$ about
Instructor and developer
I'm a full-stack engineer based in Catanduanes, Philippines. Since 2016 I've taught computer science as an Instructor at Catanduanes State University, while building the web systems and Learning Management tooling the university runs on. I hold a BS in Computer Science and completed 30 units toward a Master's in Information Systems at Bicol University before my focus shifted more technical — in 2025 I started a Master of Science in Computer Science at Mapua University, concentrating on Applied Machine Learning and AI.
