MECHANICAL ENGINEERING // DESIGNING // BUILDING
Currently: 2nd Year @ DLSU Manila
Status: Available for Internships
I build prototypes because I like seeing ideas become real.
I'm drawn to elegant solutions, especially tools I'd want to use myself. Most of my projects start from everyday problems, curiosity, or small moments that feel worth exploring. For me, engineering is less about grand ideas and more about careful iteration, physical constraints, and making things that simply work — and feel right.

My Approach
Form Follows Function (But Function Can Be Beautiful)
I don't compromise performance for aesthetics, but I believe good design considers both.
Iterate in Public
Failed prototypes teach more than successful ones. I document the mess, not just the wins.
Engineering is Communication
If I can't explain how it works, I don't understand it well enough. I value clarity over complexity.
Build, Measure, Learn
CAD is the hypothesis. The prototype is the experiment. Data informs the next iteration.
By The Numbers
Open to Opportunities
I'm actively looking for internships in mechanical design, robotics, or manufacturing — and I'm equally open to collaborative projects with fellow makers. If you have an interesting problem, I want to hear about it.
