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.

i enjoy writing code.
if ai solves every problem,
what's left?892 commits. the personal AI agent i've been trying to build since 2023 is finally becoming something i'm proud of.
one question usually turns into three projects and too many open tabs.
typescript, python, rust, go, infrastructure, and agents.
in roughly five weeks
an earlier role handled 2,000+ requests a day at 99.3% uptime.
i update this board whenever my attention changes, so it never settles into a final form.
how WFDs work, when to write one, the states a document can be in, frontmatter format, and the markdown features available.
my desktop is scattered screenshots, dozens of windows, half-finished checklists, and constant switching.
whatever feels urgent or interesting gets the whole pile.
right now, only this website and my ai work count as current.
did i mention this board evolves over time? you might find new stuff here next time. suggestions? email me.

i turned weeks of neuroscience papers into her memory system.
weave gives long-running agents memory, state tracking, and retrieval that can be inspected.
i watched a kdrama about a girl who forgets everything every morning and realized my AI agent has the same condition. so i built it a brain.
someone else is
on the other end.
i'm less interested in whether it's good.
ideally when something is coming up, whether it's work related or it's just a personal project of mine i usually let it run at the end because i need pressure to perform things.
diffusion models
i built an AI agent with persistent memory. now i need to figure out if it's remembering the truth or just what i wanted to hear.
AI makes me faster. It also might be making me dumber. I'm figuring out where the line is.
atlas maps symbols, calls, tests, and history so developers and agents can ask structural questions about a repository.
2,239-trial benchmark across 8 OSS repos: Atlas beats a text-search baseline by +0.223 deterministic, +0.127 LLM-judge, at 42% fewer tokens.
orchestrator lets a local model read and control a live chromium page through the devtools protocol.
Driftlet now has a website, a Docker image, and post tagging. Also, I spent two hours debugging a login issue that was just a wrong username.

Legacy This WFD was imported from old blog posts scattered across my files. It may still be relevant or it may not. Kept for the record.
Driftlet now has a website. Check out Driftlet.xyz for future updates and announcements. There's also a Docker image now.
Fair warning: the docs link on the website will Rick Roll you. I haven't written docs yet.

Speaking of passwords, I wasted two hours debugging why I couldn't log into my own instance.
I kept resetting my password. Over and over. Nothing worked.
Turns out my username had changed. It was set to some random header value. No idea why or how, but there it was.
The irony: I built this whole clever system where setting the DB password field to "reset" automatically triggers password recovery. Proper flow, proper email, the works.
None of that mattered because the issue was the username, not the password. Two hours debugging something I could've solved in ten seconds by checking the username field.
I might add a forgot username flow at this point.
