About

👨‍🏫 I'm the Chief Financial/Growth Officer at AcadArena, building campus gaming clubs and supporting micro communities across South East Asia. I oversee all the number stuff — from finances and fundraising to data science and performance marketing.

🤝 I love bringing people together through events. You can find me with a megaphone and clipboard at CONQuest Festival, my annual gaming, music and pop culture expo in the Philippines with 30,000+ attendees.

🖥️ I'm a big fan of joining hackathons because of how they're hotbeds for people to try out new ideas. My favorite project to work on was a tool that detected and automatically resold soon-to-expire food produce mid-shipment.

🏫 Graduated B.S Informatics (and a dropped major in History 😔) at the University of Washington - Seattle. It was a pretty weird combo, but I liked how it allowed me to explore tech and humanities equally. In the past, I was a Philippine Science High School scholar.

You could say that I'm a generalist. I got my start in the industry as a journalist, but have since gone on to do things ranging from software development and project management to broadcasting and event production.

At the end of the day though, the two things tying all my adventures together are a want to create opportunities for dreamers and a passion for crafting meaningful moments. I also work on a lot of side projects.
