I am a Bachelor of Science – Master of Science in Computer Science (Honors) student at De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines. I enjoy working on challenges that bring together AI and applied computing.
I have had the opportunity to work on projects with the International Rice Research Institute and the Department of Science and Technology. In 2023, I was conferred the second prize in the Magsaysay Future Engineers/Technologists Award by the National Academy of Science and Technology of the Philippines. Here are some of my recent publications:
- 🧬 Bioinformatics
- 👁️ Computer Vision
- 🗣️ Natural Language Processing
- 💻 Programming Language Design and Implementation
- 🛢️ Database Design and Data Visualization
- Transforming chatbot dialogues into a data mart schema for data visualization
2023 Philippine Computing Science Congress (Paper)
- Transforming chatbot dialogues into a data mart schema for data visualization
I have also worked on software engineering projects:
- 🎨 Artemis. An art-sharing Android app where the community of users can post, bookmark, and provide feedback on members' works, as well as share these artworks on their Facebook accounts
- ⛽ Powerzone Inventory. A web-based inventory, transaction, and delivery management system for a fuel company in Bicol, Philippines
Apart from coding, I am passionate about sharing and learning bits and bytes about tech. Since 2017, I have been a mentor for the Asian MathSci League, Inc. (AMSLI), an organization that trains and selects representatives for international math and informatics competitions. I designed the curriculum and wrote handouts for its advanced programming classes.
Since 2021, I have been contributing questions to the International Bebras Challenge on Informatics and Computational Thinking, an annual contest joined by over 80 participating countries. My 2023 problem proposal was awarded Best Task, and my 2022 and 2024 proposals were also nominated for this recognition.
I also enjoy competitive programming. In the 2022 International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) Asia-Manila Regionals, our team ranked fifth and was recognized as the top Philippine team and the first to solve a problem.
