Experience

Romega Solutions · AI Full-Stack Engineer (Part-Time) Jul 2025 – Present · El Segundo, CA (Remote)
  • Built an all-in-one internal operations platform (PM/ticketing, attendance, recruiting ATS, LMS, AI reporting) serving a distributed team — 46 pages, 56 API routes, and a 31-table Postgres schema in ~42K lines of TypeScript, shipped solo in ~3 months.
  • Led a zero-downtime migration off a third-party PM SaaS: rebuilt ticketing natively (kanban, sprints, comments, activity feeds), migrated SQLite → Supabase Postgres with Drizzle ORM, and replaced custom JWT auth with Supabase Auth + Google OAuth.
  • Integrated LLM features (daily executive briefings, AI status-report drafting) and n8n automations (resume parsing, applicant comms, multi-step onboarding sequences) directly into business workflows — outputs land in human review queues, never auto-publish.
  • Shipped production RAG chatbots with vector embeddings (ChromaDB · sentence-transformers) and Google Gemini for customer interactions and workflow automation.
CodeVF · Software Engineer (Contract) Feb 2026 – Apr 2026 · US (Remote)
  • Engineered a real-time collaboration platform with WebSocket architecture, enabling live debugging sessions between customers and engineers with bidirectional communication for code review and remote assistance.
University of Makati · AI Workflow Automation Engineer (Part-Time) Jan 2026 – Apr 2026 · Makati (Remote)
  • Developed intelligent automation workflows using n8n to streamline university administrative processes and data management.
Pacebeats · Lead Software Engineer (Full-Time) Aug 2025 – Mar 2026 · Makati (Remote)
  • Architected a biometric music platform (1st Runner-Up, InfoTech Olympics 2025) with a WearOS app (Kotlin, Health Services API), Kotlin Android app, React/TypeScript dashboard, and Supabase backend.
  • Built a hybrid recommendation engine combining rule-based pace-to-BPM mapping with content-based ML scoring on user listening patterns, achieving real-time playlist adaptation.
  • Engineered the WearOS companion with GPS tracking, heart-rate monitoring, Data Layer API sync, Spotify SDK integration, and 8+ hour battery optimization.
Commission on Elections (COMELEC) · Technical DESO Support Staff (Contract) Jul 2025 – Oct 2025 · Makati
