Bio Profile

I’m a software engineer and musician living in Brooklyn who loves to build new ideas to life. With a diverse mix of experiences in engineering, strategy, artist management, and composition, my background has enabled me to practice engineering and creative work as a more a holistic process.

I immigrated from the Philippines in 2007 and went to NYU for my undergrad. While in school, I was heavily involved in the music scene and worked as a part-time artist manager. After a scheduling mixup in college, I needed to take an extra class to fulfill my credits. Out of curiosity, I took an intro to web programming course and have never looked back since.
