Senior Platform Engineer · Philippines
I build the systems software ships on — and a few systems nobody asked for, but real people use.
Senior platform engineer with 10+ years shipping production systems — the Pipeline-as-a-Service platform that carried every application to production at Penbrothers, student-information features at Oracle, and NOC dashboards for Google as a vendor. I work across Go, TypeScript, and Python with a bias for boring, well-tested infrastructure. After hours I keep building for real users: an agent-authored operating system I run my own workday on, a live-translation stack for my church, and small tools finished properly. This site is the evidence.
Open to senior platform engineering roles and consulting engagements.

Static site — no servers. These values bake into the HTML at build time; every push to main rebuilds and redeploys them.
A year of shipping
The 2021 how-to680 contributions in the last year, peaking at 70 on Oct 11, 2026 — the day this site was rebuilt. Baked from the GitHub calendar at build time; the skyline is the same idea I wrote about in 2021, now running on my own site.

What I bring
Production platform work
The pipelines, dashboards, and internal tooling other engineers shipped on — at Penbrothers, Google (as a vendor), and Oracle.
Self-directed systems
Systems I found a reason to build: agent infrastructure I run my own day on, and a complete live-translation stack for my church.
Craft and open source
Small tools finished properly — tested, documented, and shipped — plus civic-tech work in the open.
