From me to you

Born in the Philippines, my fascination with design and tech began early through my love of typefaces and playing Minecraft I've pirated from installed .APKs.

As someone who couldn't afford my schooling at the University of Maryland, College Park, I funded my education by providing services/projects to six emerging startups. I emphasized Building with a Heart at Startup Shell, a student-run tech incubator with $2B+ in combined venture valuation, where I previously served as the director of community.

Now, I research network effects for/and protocol networks, helping build the next generation of a more transparent and decentralized internet.
