About
I’m an AI engineer based in Manila, building production AI systems and agent platforms with a strong focus on evaluation, experimental design, and reliable workflows. I currently develop Daimon at PyMC Labs, a multi-tenant agent platform that supports Slack and Discord automation with durable scheduling, permissions, integrations, and audit trails.
Before that, I worked across backend and product engineering at Cheerful, including an AI outreach engine and creator enrichment pipeline, and I also led client-facing consulting work. My background includes rebuilding high-impact data pipelines in logistics and maintaining large-scale learning and enrollment systems in government/education settings, plus research on validating consensus algorithms in private network environments.
