I am a BS Computer Science graduate from the University of the Philippines Diliman, completing my degree with Cum Laude honors as a DOST-SEI Merit Scholar. I specialize in backend software development, systems programming, and predictive analysis. Outside of programming, I have a deep interest in Gaming and Anime/Manga.
