Research Publications & Accolades
Fusion Rush: Enhancing Proficiency in Boolean Logic Algebra through Gamification
Peer-reviewed conference paper accepted at Scopus-indexed ICETT 2026. Architected an adaptive educational AI tutor transforming complex discrete mathematics logic proofs into gamified cognitive mechanics with verifiable student mastery lift.
Visual AI Logic Proof Parser: Parsing Structured Handwritten Discrete Math Proofs
Computer vision research accepted and personally presented at the Philippine Computing Science Congress (PCSC 2026) in Davao City. Built an OCR parsing pipeline evaluating multi-step handwritten discrete math inference proofs.
Engineering Philosophy
Zero-Lag UX: Interaction Over Decoration
Interfaces should respond to user intent immediately. Heavy visual flair that compromises interaction latency is a defect, not polish.
- Optimistic UI updates with instant local feedback
- Sub-100ms render targets across mobile devices
- Decoupling expensive computations into background web workers
Cloud-Native Resilience
Distributed systems inevitably experience partial outages. Reliability is achieved through circuit breakers and graceful degradation.
- Declarative Kubernetes deployments with automated self-healing
- Distributed telemetry via Prometheus & Grafana alerts
Defensive Architecture
Build boundaries that assume all external inputs and microservice dependencies are unreliable until verified.
- Strict runtime type boundaries and validation gates
- Signed cryptographic tokens with zero client secrets
Empirical Optimization
Measure before modifying. Intuition is valuable for hypothesizing, but profilers and telemetry must confirm real-world performance gains.
- Benchmarking algorithmic complexity and memory footprints
- Continuous profiling to isolate latency bottlenecks before production
Leadership & Community Engagement
Koro Teknoy Chorale — Presidential OIC & Bass 2
Directed executive management, rehearsal scheduling, and external ceremonial appearances for CIT-U's premier collegiate chorale. Maintained team morale and vocal discipline across major university convocations and regional competitions.
Computer Science Guild & Peer Tutoring
Organized peer mentorship cohorts for lower-year students in Discrete Mathematics, Data Structures, and Python. Facilitated code walkthrough sessions and mentored teams in collegiate hackathons.
