Lakbay, the Filipino word for journey
About Me
I started out aiming for medicine, switched to building software, and finished a Computer Science degree at UP Cebu in 2025.
My internship at ChatGenie (Techstars '23) taught me to ship complete applications in 3-day sprints on tech stacks I'd never touched.
At JinFortis Digital I shipped features on a Django and React platform with payment and notification integrations. In 2026 I co-founded RedactLocal and contracted on an AI manuscript-analysis product.
