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.
bettergov.ph is a volunteer-run portal that makes philippine government services easier to find and use.
most things are on hold for a bit. three projects stay. here's what and why.
opening note
wfd / Feb 27, 2026 / 2 min
my situation changed recently. nothing dramatic, just enough that i need to reprioritize how i spend my time for a while.
the certifications from WFD 15 are on hold. the drafts sitting in the queue are on hold. liquid glass (WFD 20), Driftlet, the eGovPH QR Verifier, all on hold. not permanently, just until things settle.
three projects stay. when i looked at what to keep running and what could wait, the pattern was clear. the ones i kept are all open source or free public tools. none of them make money. all of them exist because someone needed them and nobody else was building them.
i didn't set out to filter by that. i just asked myself which ones i couldn't justify stopping, and it turned out the answer was always the ones where someone else is on the other end. that's probably what matters most to me when i'm being honest about it.
| # | project | mode | what it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Corgi | active development | Kagi Search mod framework |
| 2 | LTO clinic directory | maintenance | LTO-accredited medical clinic finder (WFD 28) |
| 3 | PH Navigator | maintenance | MRT navigation app |
the only project staying in active development. i use Kagi every day and Corgi lets me shape exactly how it looks and works. when you use something daily and you can make it yours, you don't stop because life got busy. this one keeps me sane, honestly.
both in maintenance. the clinic directory already works and people rely on it to find accredited clinics. reports come in, i update the data. PH Navigator handles MRT route planning and station info for the Philippines, the stuff that should exist in an official app but doesn't. neither needs heavy development, just upkeep.
everything else. the certification roadmap from WFD 15 being shelved is the one that actually bothers me. CKA was supposed to happen this month, and half-assing a ₱26,000 exam is worse than waiting. i can't give it the time right now. the roadmap doesn't expire.
still active, new WFDs will still go up.
