San Bidet

Find clean restrooms with bidets around the Philippines.

Finding a clean restroom with a bidet can be harder than it should be, especially while traveling. I built San Bidet to solve that for myself first, then put it out for anyone else running into the same problem.

AniVoice popular anime character list AniVoice anime character search results

AniVoice

Explore the voices behind anime characters.

I'm the kind of anime fan who recognizes a voice before I place the character, and I got tired of not being able to look that up easily. AniVoice is the searchable database I wished existed, covering characters, voice actors, and the roles connecting them.

Pitchie start screen Pitchie pitch-recognition game screen

Pitchie

Train pitch recognition with a quick musical note game.

Ear training works best in short, repeated doses, and most tools for it felt more like homework than practice. I built Pitchie to be a quick note-identification game instead — just enough friction to make the practice stick.

About

AI operations grounded in software delivery.

I'm an AI Operations Manager and software delivery leader with 10+ years of experience in software development, client management and project coordination. I lead practical artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, workflow automation and AI-assisted software delivery across development, quality assurance (QA), documentation and internal operations.

My hands-on background spans React Native, .NET MAUI, Xamarin, Android, iOS and backend development. I continue to manage selected clients and build software, connecting technical decisions with project needs and delivery priorities.

My approach treats AI as a strong delivery tool, with bounded work, durable context, automated checks, and human judgment. Read how I structure AI-enabled software delivery →

Builder’s perspective

I still write and review code regularly, so I have a current sense of architecture, platform limits, and the tradeoffs that come with maintainability and performance. When someone's excited about an idea, I can usually tell early on what's going to be simple and what's going to be a slog.

Delivery perspective

On the other side, I'm the one thinking about scope, priorities, and what a client or team actually needs to hear about progress — including the parts nobody enjoys, like saying a deadline needs to move. Having both perspectives at once means fewer surprises for everyone by the time something ships.
