Projects
Some of these are shipping, some are in active development, some are prototypes I keep coming back to. All started with a problem worth solving.
2025
In ProgressAI-assisted situational awareness for the bridge watch.
Sea.Lookout is a concept for an AI-assisted situational awareness system aimed at the navigational watch. It explores how computer vision and lightweight alerting can back up — never replace — the trained human eye on the bridge, helping identify vessels, floating objects, and navigational hazards under practical shipboard conditions.
2025
In ProgressBudgeting and wage clarity for Filipino workers.
SweldoWise is a budgeting and personal-finance companion built around the realities of Philippine payroll practice — take-home pay, SSS/PhilHealth/HDMF/tax deductions, overtime and night-differential computations — presented so the numbers make sense to the person actually getting paid.
2025
LiveOffline-first inventory and operations for small businesses.
StockPilot is a mobile-first inventory and operations app for small shops. It tracks products, stock movements, and sales entirely on the device, so it keeps working on the shop floor with no connection. Barcode scanning, thermal-printer receipts, and spreadsheet exports turn a phone into a practical point-of-sale and stock-control tool.
2025
In ProgressOn-device document scanner with local OCR and PDF export.
Naviscan is a privacy-first document scanner. Capture a page, clean it up with filters, pull out the text with on-device character recognition, and export to PDF — all without anything leaving the phone. Scans are kept in an encrypted local database, so sensitive paperwork stays under the owner's control.
2025
In ProgressA global budgeting and savings companion across 17 currencies.
WalletWise is a personal-finance tracker built to work anywhere. It handles income and expense tracking, category budgets, savings goals, and clear reporting across 17 currencies, in both light and dark modes. Data syncs through a hosted backend so it stays available across a person's devices.
2025
In ProgressA no-root personal firewall for Android, fully on-device.
GuardLite is a lightweight personal firewall for Android. It gates the device's network traffic locally through the system VPN service — no root access required, and nothing leaves the phone. Built as a modular Kotlin app with tamper-resistance hardening, it gives people a clear view of what their apps are talking to.
2024
PrototypeA keyboard-first workspace for focused writing.
Clavier is an opinionated desktop writing environment that keeps the hands on the home row. A playground for thinking about how small ergonomic wins — modal shortcuts, consistent motion, minimal chrome — compound over long writing sessions.
2026
LiveClavier's keyboard-first writing workspace, now in the browser.
Clavier Web is the web-based counterpart to Clavier — the same opinionated, keyboard-first writing environment, available anywhere a modern browser runs. It carries over the modal shortcuts, consistent motion, and minimal chrome of the desktop app, so writing sessions can move freely between machines without losing the muscle memory built up over time.
2024
PrototypeLocal LLM Q&A over technical ship manuals.
An on-board assistant that answers questions against vendor manuals, maker instructions, and planned-maintenance procedures without leaving the vessel's network. Runs a local model over indexed PDFs so engineers can query equipment documentation even with no satellite link.
I take on a small number of engineering and AI projects each year — mostly practical, often maritime-adjacent. Happy to talk if the problem is concrete.
