What I'm working on

  • I'm a Senior AI Product Manager at The Attic AI.
    • We build governed AI for regulated enterprises: AI that runs inside a customer's own cloud, on-prem, or air-gapped environment, and that can prove every action it takes.
  • I'm a part-time professional lecturer at the De La Salle University - Manila College of Computer Studies.
    • I teach undergraduate students Human-Computer Interaction (ITISHCI and STHCIUX). As of July 2026, I've taught over 100 students how to do research, prototype, and evaluate human-centric software and hardware.
  • I'm currently affiliated with the DLSU Human-X Interactions Laboratory.

Community

Outside of work, I like to contribute my skills, knowledge, and labor for free to non-profit tech and design communities in the Philippines. The design community in particular has been crucial to my personal development and is a big reason why I fell in love in HCI, UX, and design in the first place. I started volunteering way back when I was an university undergraduate in 2017.

  • I co-founded Tambayan 404 in 2020, the Philippines' biggest Discord community for Filipinos in Tech and general tech enthusiasts. We don't take things too seriously, and this community is more for hanging out than career-maxxing.
  • I'm currently one of the Community Leads of the Philippine Web Designers Organization, a registered, volunteer non-profit organization in the Philippines aimed at uplifting the state of web design in the Philippines. I was appointed as Community Lead by the PWDO Board in 2019. We're on a bit of a hiatus though.
  • I'm a Senior Research Volunteer at UXPH, the only registered, volunteer non-profit organization in the Philippines aimed at supporting and growing the User Experience profession in the Philippines. I've been volunteering with UXPH since 2017.
  • I co-founded the DLSU Chapter of the User Experience Society in 2017 and served as its first Director for Operations.

Previous work

  • I co-founded Navegante alongside Xavi Ablaza and served as its Chief Product & Design Officer from 2022 to 2026.
    • Navegante was a cloud infrastructure devtool aimed at improving the overall user experience of deploying software to the Web.
  • I previously worked as a Conversation Designer, Front-end Engineer, and Product Manager at Senti AI (acq'd by Kollab).
    • Senti AI is one of the first homegrown AI startups specializing in social media sentiment analysis and conversational assistants in the Philippines.
    • Worked on AI products back when it was still called Machine Learning
