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.

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.
while watching something online, i managed to do so and keep focus for 1.5x the speed and understand the concepts regarding what i watched and that is a surprise given the fact that i have poor memory. so i've gotten into a habit of writing stuff down to understand them and even while i'm doing it on my laptop its just as effective as writing them down on paper and my hand wouldn't hurt too because i'm just typing!
i think it has something to do with lamotrigine which is a prescribed medication for treating bipolar disorder (off-label) down feelings.
for those who are not aware, i'm diagnosed with bipolar and adhd and have been off medications for quite some time now, and ideally - i'm just coping with it via pressure or like working when its just motivating enough and interesting enough for me to work on and i believe that THAT is <span class="red-note">not sustainable</span>. please see this very low quality drawing i have made illustrating the situation
<small class="image-caption">(yes i literally took a screenshot, i was lazy)</small>
generally, my new psychiatrist (really cool btw) recommended that we treat my manic side of things (for reference manic is the high feeling) but i suggested that we treat the low side of things because it's really whats affecting me the majority of my life and its turned more into "i can finally start doing things at will" rather than i'm too demotivated to do anything or i don't wanna do things at all.
i remember a quote but i'm not sure where it came from and its that...
<blockquote class="focus-quote"> <p>"we're not avoiding or procrastinating to do things, we're avoiding the emotion attached to said doing that thing" <small>(or something the likes of that)</small></p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-credit">- some random person on the internet i forgot (i'm sorry)</p>and that really resonated with me because i actually want to do the things i want to do but the emotional + down state leaves me from doing so and lamotrigine is actually one of the first medications that has worked (i've tried several before). so yeah, i really hope i get out and be stable more than unstable in the future.
<small class="muted-note">(also i found this funny quote while taking the adhd reassesment, that adhd people are not reaching their full potential without treatment? that's so weird and idk how to feel about it)</small>
want to say something regarding this? :mail: say hi!
anyways, stay stable
