Career

Work Experience

Lead AI Engineer CURRENT

Mar 2026 — Present

Confidential

  • Lead the engineering team building a real-time “drop checker” that monitors ticket availability across major ticketing platforms — Ticketmaster, AXS, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and StubHub.
  • Own the architecture for a system engineered to be among the fastest and most accurate inventory-detection tools on the market.
  • Built large-scale distributed proxy infrastructure and anti-bot evasion techniques to reliably access heavily protected platforms at scale.
  • Set technical direction, drive engineering decisions, and mentor the team as lead developer.

Programmer

Mar 2024 — Feb 2026

University of Baguio

  • Designed and shipped full-stack institutional web apps from architecture through production, serving a 20,000+ student and staff population across mission-critical workflows.
  • Built RESTful APIs and backend services with Node.js and Express.js over MongoDB and PostgreSQL, applying schema design, indexing, and query optimization for performance at scale.
  • Engineered a real-time graduation management system handling 500–2,000 students per ceremony using WebSocket-driven event processing, replacing a manual paper-based process.
  • Built a legacy-system integration layer that ingests, cleanses, and normalizes data from an unmodifiable upstream system into a unified schema — the backbone of a centralized student information platform.
  • Delivered a full Human Resources Information System (HRIS): admin dashboard, automated email notifications, performance-evaluation workflows, and a centralized document repository.
  • Deployed containerized apps with Docker on Microsoft Azure with automated CI/CD via GitHub Actions.

Freelance Software Engineer

Jun 2023 — Feb 2024

Self-employed

  • Built and shipped an AI-powered legal case digest app for law students, integrating the Claude API with a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline — offered free of charge.
  • Deployed on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS Automatic) with pay-per-second compute to minimize hosting costs for a free-to-use platform.
  • Managed end-to-end cloud delivery independently with Docker and version-controlled pipelines in an async-first workflow.

About

Who I am

3+ years of shipping production-grade applications to 20,000+ users across mission-critical institutional workflows. I work end to end — full-stack web development, RESTful API and microservices design, real-time WebSocket systems, data integration pipelines, and AI/LLM features built on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). I'm also an ACM-published researcher (CIIS 2023, Tokyo). Based in the Philippines and open to remote, hybrid, and international opportunities.
