I come from a multicultural background, having roots from the Philippines and Japan. From a young age, I've always been captivated by the power of creativity and the ability to build something from nothing. That fascination has been the driving force behind everything I do, constantly pushing me to create with purpose and vision.

My journey into the world of technology began in the early 2000s during high school when the digital revolution was in full swing. However, it wasn't until college that I truly realized the impact technology could have. One of my first major projects was developing an inventory application for a local business as part of an IT course. It was a challenge that opened my eyes to the real-world value of tech, seeing how it transformed their operations and simplified record-keeping.

Although I earned my bachelor's degree in business, I felt an undeniable pull towards tech. To sharpen my skills, I attended a bootcamp in Tokyo, which further fueled my passion. My background in business gives me a unique perspective, allowing me to understand how technology and business can seamlessly converge.

I'm driven by the idea that the right combination of innovation and creativity can make products and services more accessible, enhance quality, and ultimately improve people's lives.
