About

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from De La Salle University - Manila and am currently studying Experience Design at Dallas College to deepen my focus on Human-Computer Interaction.

Focused on designing intelligent systems that better understand and support people. My work spans hardware, machine learning, and software development, allowing me to create experiences from concept to implementation.

I approach projects end-to-end, from understanding user needs and defining interactions, to prototyping, engineering, and iterating on real systems. I don't just design how things should look or feel, I also build and engineer how they work. Whether it's developing responsive applications, integrating hardware components, or implementing intelligent models, I translate ideas into functional, tangible experiences.

By working across both design and engineering, I'm able to ensure that what I create is not only intuitive and human-centered, but also technically sound and effective in real-world use.
