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.

AI-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.

Budgeting 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
AI-enabled review for marine engineering licensure.
BoardPilot is a structured study companion for marine engineering licensure candidates. It combines curated question banks, spaced review, and AI-generated explanations grounded in the actual scope of the PRC examinations — not generic test-prep boilerplate.
2024
A 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.
Local 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.
