Curated conversations — FAQs, behind-the-scenes, and random thoughts.
You're studying CS at Ateneo?
Yeah, I'm a 2nd year Computer Science student at Ateneo de Manila University. Also doing a dual degree in organizational management because I apparently hate having free time. It's honestly a lot. Between coursework, org stuff, side projects, and trying to have an actual life, my schedule is pretty packed. But I'm learning a ton and building things I care about so it's worth it.
Do you do anything besides coding?
Yeah, I'd go insane if I only coded. I'm into photography and videography. I shoot with a Canon R50 and I've been slowly building up my lens collection. I like capturing moments and telling stories visually. Done some event coverage and a short film project. I also play badminton regularly. It's my main way to stay active and de-stress.
How did you build this site?
It's a Next.js app with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. I wanted something different from the usual static portfolio, so I made it ChatGPT-themed. The chatbot on the homepage is actually calling Google's Gemini API with a custom prompt that knows about me and my work. So when you ask it questions, you're getting real AI responses tailored to my background.
