Selected systems

I don't collect ideas. I ship them.

Four current builds across AI operations, job discovery, workflow automation, and on-chain systems—each shown with my role, contribution, and the strongest public proof available.

JuanAlly

AI operations for Filipino businesses

An AI-assisted operating workspace for orders, inventory, staff workflows, approvals, and live profit visibility.

Role: Product builder
Built: Building a single operating layer that replaces fragmented spreadsheets and group-chat workflows for growing teams.

Proof The public product site documents the core order, inventory, staff, approval, and profit-visibility workflows.

JobFndr

AI-assisted remote job discovery

Finds fresh remote jobs from trusted sources, compares them with a candidate profile, ranks the best fits, and flags location eligibility.

Role: Product builder
Built: Built the profile-to-shortlist workflow, match explanations, eligibility checks, source verification, and employer-research experience.

Proof The live product offers a free scan and keeps the applicant in control: it ranks opportunities and opens the original listing rather than auto-applying.

Private beta2025–now

ChattoFlow

Natural language to working automation

An AI workflow builder that turns plain-English intent into editable, testable automations and connected app flows.

Role: Product builder
Built: Built the chat-to-workflow experience, visual editor, templates, credential surfaces, and workflow testing interface.

Proof The public beta site and frontend source expose the builder, canvas, templates, integrations, and testing surfaces.

Stoa

Risk-first autonomous trading agent

An auditable BNB Chain trading agent designed to survive first: deterministic risk controls govern every on-chain action.

Role: Creator · Systems engineer
Built: Engineered the risk gate, market-regime strategy, wallet execution, chain reconciliation, and tamper-evident decision journal.

Proof The repository documents 88 commits, 257 tests, on-chain registration, and a confirmed agent-governed transaction.

The builder's ledger

46 attempts. Six wins. Zero pretending the path was linear.

I have spent my career testing ideas in the market, not collecting concepts in a deck. The misses built judgment. The wins proved that founder speed and engineering discipline can coexist.

That record includes an AI × TON category win at the TOKEN2049 Origins Hackathon— independent proof that the work travels beyond my own product pages.

About

A Senior Engineer Who Builds Like a Founder

Thirteen-plus years turning product ideas and operational problems into working software across full-stack engineering, blockchain, AI, and automation.

I started coding in 2012. By 2017, I was building in Web3. Across 13+ years in software and 7+ years with blockchain systems, the throughline has been end-to-end ownership: understand the constraint, shape the product, make the architecture decisions, and ship.

I founded Kave Guild, a Web3 and AI education community that ran workshops, incubators, and live events in the Philippines. I've also shipped full-stack DApps, blockchain integrations, AI automations, and operator-facing products. Current builds include JuanAlly, JobFndr, ChattoFlow, and Stoa.

I work best where product and engineering decisions meet. That means narrowing the first release, choosing architecture that fits the stage, getting a useful version into people's hands, and improving it with what the market teaches us. Speed matters, but so do judgment, maintainability, and a clear reason to build.

Key Points

13+ years building software, including 7+ years working with blockchain systems
Owns the path from product framing and architecture through launch and iteration
Founder and operator experience through Kave Guild and independent products
Comfortable turning ambiguous ideas into focused, testable product releases
