About

I'm an AI Solutions Architect and Technical Chief of Staff based in Quezon City. I build AI systems that work in production, then build the teams, workflows, and operating systems that help those systems compound.

At Momentum Media Group, I work at the leadership layer: translating priorities from the Head of Technology and AI into tracked execution, executive dashboards, Google Chat assistants, meeting-to-task automation, Hermes agent workflows, and AI-native media operations.

My technical foundation spans RAG, machine learning, computer vision, full-stack product engineering, and cloud deployment. Outside work, I keep building: AI newsroom systems, development-intelligence tools, Filipino cultural analytics pipelines, community platforms, and experiments that turn AI from a feature into an operating model.
