Career

25+ years turning enterprise technology into results people actually use

I'm an AI and digital transformation leader based in Manila. Across 25+ years in petroleum, aviation, legal, healthcare and SaaS, I've secured an estimated $4M IT innovation program at Cebu Pacific, founded a startup that reached 20,000 users in three months, and architected an AI operating model at Unioil. I still design and ship software myself.
