ABOUT

About Me

The honest version: I build things that work, then I document why they work, then I make them better. Here's the professional version of that:

I'm a software developer with over 10 years of experience building e-commerce solutions, payment processing systems, and client-facing CMS platforms. I specialize in the layer where technical architecture meets human behaviour — where a system either serves the person using it, or doesn't. I work best in collaborative environments where the goal is to build something that lasts, not just something that ships.

In 2026 I published a case study on AI safety, cognitive frameworks, and what happens when the tool doesn't fit the human. The research came from the work. The work is ongoing.


Core Values

The one-word version: kapwa. The longer version:

Integrity means I deliver on what I say, and I tell you when I can't. Innovation means I look at the system before I look at the symptom. Collaboration means I believe the best outcomes come from people who trust each other enough to disagree. These aren't aspirational — they're operational. They show up in how I write code, how I run a session, and how I end one.
