About — Philippines
AI Engineer and Technical Lead at IBM Philippines. I build agentic systems with watsonx Orchestrate and MCP, and I design the interfaces people use to trust them.
I'm an AI engineer who started as a full-stack developer and spent years designing interfaces on the side. That mix shapes how I build: an agent isn't finished when it works, it's finished when someone can see why it did what it did.
Right now I build agentic systems at IBM, lead a team of engineers on a client engagement in Japan, and advise other teams on where AI actually fits. Outside work I ship portfolio projects that each answer one question honestly, with an eval to prove it.
