Things I've been up to
Iām a software engineer, XR, and creative developer living in Brooklyn who loves to build new ideas to life. With a diverse mix of experiences in engineering, corporate strategy and artist management, my background has enabled me to practice engineering as a more a holistic process.
I immigrated from the Philippines in 2007 and went to NYU for my undergrad While in school, I was heavily involved in the music scene and worked as a part-time artist manager. After a scheduling mixup in college, I needed to take an extra class to fulfill my credits. Out of curiosity, I took an intro to web programming course and have never looked back since.
Currently, I wear multiple hats as a backend developer at Cadoo (a fitness gaming startup funded by OpenAI's co-founder) and contribute my skills as a software developer to various other companies.
