About Me
I've spent 11 years doing one thing: walking into organizations where manual processes are slowing people down, and leaving them with systems that run themselves. I started in IT infrastructure — servers, networks, disaster recovery. Then I spotted Power Platform before most people knew what it was, built a governance framework from scratch at Fosroc, and delivered automation that cut manual workload by 70%. I don't wait for trends. I move early, build deep, and create foundations that scale. What makes me different is that I think like a business owner — because I am one. I run a laundry and barbershop in the Philippines, and I built the management system for it myself using Next.js, Supabase, and Vercel. That's not a side project. That's how I stay sharp and honest about what technology actually needs to do in the real world. Today I work at the intersection of three things most people have only one of: Business stakeholder communication — translating problems into roadmaps Platform governance — building systems that don't break when you scale Hands-on delivery — I can architect it and build it If you're looking for someone who can lead a D&T function, align with regional strategy, and still roll up their sleeves when it counts — let's talk.
