About

Started my career as a bartender at an Italian restaurant before transitioning to engineering at a major corporation. Later, I founded my own company developing web and Android applications. Since then, I've gained diverse experience serving as VPoE (Vice President of Engineering) at venture companies and challenging myself at overseas startups.

I also ran a small bar in Tokyo and developed Android apps that achieved over 4 million active users. My strengths are taking action and flexible thinking. Currently living in Manila with my Filipino wife.
