Code. Design. Family. Country.

By day, I am a full-stack developer and designer for an ICT company in Abu Dhabi. By night, after my wife and four-year-old daughter are asleep, my focus shifts to a higher calling: building the digital infrastructure that demands transparency, democratizes education, and empowers citizens in the Philippines. Free time is a hard-earned luxury, but I believe we have a profound responsibility to use our skills to uplift society.

My Civic Blueprint

My advocacy relies on deployed solutions, not passive commentary. I dedicate my spare hours to four core initiatives:

• BetterSolano.org (Local Empowerment): I designed and engineered this web and mobile ecosystem to bring absolute digital transparency to my hometown. By making civic data instantly accessible, it empowers every Solanoan to hold local leaders accountable and actively shape our community's future.
• Abakada.org (Democratizing Education): Premium software should not gatekeep learning. As the sole creator, designer, and developer, I built this platform to catalog over 1,300 open-source apps. Its minimalist design breaks down financial barriers, ensuring marginalized Filipino students and underfunded educators have free access to powerful digital tools.
• BetterGov.ph (Institutional Accountability): Systemic change requires public clarity. As a Project Maintainer, I code new features, fix bugs, and improve the user interface. I also design infographics and manage our LinkedIn and Facebook pages, translating complex civic data into accessible visual truth to foster a culture of nationwide accountability.
• HIV Care Philippines (Public Health Access): The Philippine HIV Care Directory is a fast, accessible, mobile-first web application that helps Filipinos locate DOH-designated HIV treatment hubs and primary care facilities offering Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), and HIV testing services across the country. It exists to reduce friction between people living with or at risk of HIV and the public services already available to them, mirroring official DOH issuances faithfully in a clean, searchable, shareable interface that works equally well on desktop, tablet, and entry-level mobile devices.

A Bridge Back Home

Building my life in the UAE with my family has not distanced me from the challenges of my homeland.

I may be miles away, but every interface I design and every line of code I write is a bridge back home. I do not need a political platform to drive societal change, just a willingness to offer my spare time and my technical stack to help build a fairer, more transparent Philippines, one commit at a time.
