I fix computers, networks and systems, build what’s missing, and keep everything running. I’ve done it as a company IT specialist, for my own clients since 2007, and for a college I helped lead. Now I’m building a robot that speaks Filipino.

About

I’m a hands-on IT specialist. I build it, I troubleshoot it, and I maintain it, whether it’s a website, a server, a network or a robot.

My work started with computers: setting them up, finding out what’s wrong and keeping them running. I took on my first freelance clients in 2007, then ran IT for a retail company and a healthcare company, looking after their PCs, networks, point-of-sale terminals, medical equipment and websites.

Along the way I set up my own web server, where I host and manage client websites, and I’ve looked after the adobo Magazine website as its web administrator for nearly a decade. Troubleshooting is the skill that ties it all together: finding out why something broke and fixing it properly. I finished my BS in Computer Science in 2019 and joined ICCT Colleges the same year.

At ICCT I went from faculty to Academic Coordinator to Officer-in-Charge of the College of Computer Studies. I administered the college’s Blackboard Learn system, built online course modules, and trained faculty to teach online.

I wasn’t a competitive student in high school. College changed that. I joined programming competitions, excelled in my programming classes and led our group presentations. I remember both sides, so I care a lot about making technical material clear for everyone.

Next, I’m taking all of it back to industry, starting with Salleh, the robot I’ve wanted to build for three years.

Keeping company IT running

At a retail company and a healthcare company I was the person people called when something stopped working. I diagnosed and repaired PCs and peripherals, kept the network up, maintained point-of-sale terminals across stores and looked after medical equipment.

Salleh · Project Kapatagan

A Filipino-speaking AI receptionist robot I design, wire and program myself. Salleh holds tap-to-talk conversations, follows visitors with her eyes, greets new arrivals, takes selfies with consent and a QR download, and handles rude visitors with a sense of humor. First shown at a robotics competition in October 2026.

Off the clock

Two wheels and an open road

When I’m not fixing or building something, I’m riding. Mountain roads, long curves and good company are how I recharge.
