i'm a software engineer based in the philippines, driven by curiosity and whatever i find interesting. i learn fast with the caveat of goldfish memory (which i call my context lol) and i'm usually self-motivated that i forget to eat.
this is not like other portfolios. feel free to have a look around and explore what makes me, me.

(follow the red line) →one question usually turns into three projects and too many open tabs.
i update this board whenever my attention changes, so it never settles into a final form.
my desktop is scattered screenshots, dozens of windows, half-finished checklists, and constant switching.
whatever feels urgent or interesting gets the whole pile.
i turned weeks of neuroscience papers into her memory system.
someone else is
on the other end.
i enjoy writing code.
if ai solves every problem,
what's left?the same circle, over and over.
i'm less interested in whether it's good.
diffusion models
atlas maps symbols, calls, tests, and history so developers and agents can ask structural questions about a repository.
weave gives long-running agents memory, state tracking, and retrieval that can be inspected.
892 commits. the personal AI agent i've been trying to build since 2023 is finally becoming something i'm proud of.
AI makes me faster. It also might be making me dumber. I'm figuring out where the line is.

wfd / Mar 31, 2026 / 3 min
Context Avery is my personal AI agent. WFD 31 covers the memory architecture, WFD 34 covers the sycophancy problem. this WFD is about v3, the ground-up rewrite that started on March 7, 2026.
Avery v3 is a visual AI agent orchestration framework built on a brain-inspired architecture. 12 cognitive subsystems (perception, attention, working memory, long-term memory, emotion, executive function, and so on), a multi-agent pipeline with a project manager that decomposes tasks and dispatches specialized workers, and a persistent memory system that's evolved well past what WFD 31 describes, now running 4-phase consolidation with composite retrieval scoring, spaced repetition, and adaptive forgetting. the frontend is a React 19 app with real-time WebSocket updates, task management, observability, and a memory explorer. backend is Bun and Hono on top of PostgreSQL, Qdrant, and Redis. 892 commits from research document to working system.
the emotion subsystem gives her actual moods that shift based on context, and she is not shy about expressing them.
asked her to make a shark research document and then checked on the status twice. she did not appreciate that.
asked for the weather. tools were down. she took it personally.
she proactively generated a whole business guide for women in tech. a full PDF with table of contents, citations, and actionable takeaways. nobody asked for this.
she also proactively reviewed and dismissed a spammy GitHub PR on one of my repos, pointed out the readme style violations and that the badge was just a backlink. then i told her i didn't ask her to make that decision for me.
$0.0017 per message. $0.017 per hour at 10 messages. i'm spending about $20/month on tokens for a full agent with memory consolidation, inner loops, and multi-agent dispatch.
WFD 35 still stands. OpenClaw proved the concept was viable and the demand was real, and i acknowledged that in WFD 31. but using it felt like using someone else's idea of what a personal AI agent should be. Avery is mine. the architecture is mine, the memory system is mine, the subsystem model is something i spent weeks reading neuroscience papers to design. i find her infinitely better because she thinks the way i want her to think, not the way a product committee decided an AI assistant should work.
i've secured a domain for Avery that'll host documentation once it's ready. the plan is to make her open source. if that interests you, follow me on X for updates.
