About
I'm a senior full-stack engineer with 9+ years building scalable, secure backend systems and shipping AI-powered product features. I work across Go, Node/TypeScript, and Svelte/React — spanning fintech, e-commerce, and legal-tech.
I integrate LLMs into production: retrieval-augmented search, Anthropic/OpenAI API features, and agentic workflows with Claude Code.
I'm based in the Philippines and have delivered with distributed teams across both Australian and US business hours. Open to relocation — AU, CA, DE/EU, US, SG.
