// BACKGROUND

About

I'm a licensed Electronics Engineer with a decade of self-directed technical work spanning embedded systems, IoT, renewable energy, and full-stack software development.

Currently I'm the Project Manager at REB-Greentech Systems Enterprises, an agri-infrastructure construction firm, holding Special Power of Attorney as the company's authorized representative. In the past year I personally led the acquisition of a PCAB contractor's license and reversed the company's financial trajectory from ₱5M in debt to ₱2M net positive — while also personally designing and wiring the solar PV panel boards, configuring inverters, and tuning VFDs on the projects I manage.

Alongside that, I teach programming part-time to students of all backgrounds — including students with special needs — and I still maintain a web app I built in 2023 that my former colleagues use to this day. I'm currently looking for roles where hands-on technical building and real project ownership are the same job, not two separate ones.
