EXPERIENCE

Software Development Intern

2025

University of Batangas

  • Worked with 5 other interns on a system for the University of Batangas' Institutional Quality Assurance Office. Set up the initial codebase and built authentication, the database layer, Word exports, and audit workflows.
  • Implemented the audit lifecycle used across the university's departments. The app covers scheduling, checklists, corrective action requests, evaluations, approvals, notifications, and office discussions.
  • Replaced the office's Google Docs data entry process with structured forms in the app. Auditors can export completed records as printable Word documents.
  • Used Next.js 15, TypeScript, Prisma, and MySQL for the application workflows. Added form validation, session-based authentication, and email notifications.

Full-Stack Software Engineer

2022-Present

Self Employed

  • Build full-stack websites for clients and handle requirements, frontend and backend code, databases, integrations, deployment, and production support.
  • Maintain Python Discord bots used by online communities. The bots handle support routing, event scheduling, referrals, roles, payout alerts, moderation, and scheduled messages.
  • Use FastAPI or Next.js with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite. Some projects also use Redis and external APIs.
  • Deploy with Docker on Linux and troubleshoot migrations, environment variables, logs, DNS, SSL, and container networking.

Full Stack Developer

2024-2026

The Mercenaries

  • Built and operate the tooling suite for The Mercenaries, a World of Warcraft raid-boosting business, end to end: raid-scheduling bot, booking dashboard, identity vault, and financial hub.
  • Developed a bot that runs the community's raid operations - scheduling, signups, roster confirmation, and pre-event reminders - serving a 1,290-member server with 10+ events and ~30 boosters per week.
  • Built internal web platforms for staff: a booking and sales dashboard with a loot-conflict rules engine and payout calculations, an encrypted identity vault, and a financial hub with an append-only ledger handling deposits, orders, and payout runs.
  • Automated booking logistics, payout math, and member notifications for the 5-person sales team, replacing manual spreadsheet tracking

SELECTED PROJECTS

Brahmmy AISolo capstone project

SvelteKit, TypeScript, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, LangChain, ChromaDB, RAG, SQLAlchemy, Node.js

  • Built Brahmmy AI alone as my capstone project for University of Batangas. The FastAPI backend stores conversations in PostgreSQL, handles admin and authentication routes, and runs a history-aware RAG pipeline.
  • Admins can upload and manage the PDFs used as source material. The backend chunks and embeds them into separate public and private Chroma collections, while the SvelteKit frontend provides chat, feedback, and a 3D character interface.

ReserveIndependent Product Prototype

Next.js, TypeScript, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, LangChain, Qdrant, Celery, Redis

  • Reserve is a SaaS prototype for service businesses. It connects Facebook Messenger and Instagram conversations with a website chat widget, so the same assistant can answer questions and make bookings.
  • Wrote the FastAPI agent loop with LangChain and Qdrant. The agent reads business knowledge, checks live availability, and can create customers or bookings. Guardrails and simulation tests catch unsafe behavior, with staff handoff for cases the agent cannot handle.

JackedIndependent product

Expo, React Native, FastAPI, Next.js, Docker, REST APIs

  • Built Jacked with Expo and published the Android app on Google Play. It uses a FastAPI backend and a Next.js website.
  • Made workout and nutrition logging work offline. Features include routines, RPE/RIR tracking, supersets, progress history, plate and estimated 1RM calculators, widgets, and data import/export.
