THE STORY

Self-taught. Six years in. Receipts public.

I'm from the Philippines, and I never got a CS degree. In the last eleven months I've published twenty-five open-source repositories, earned a hundred and two certifications, and shipped real systems I would actually use in production.

I push everything I build to public so the work can speak for itself.

CURRENTLY BUILDING

  • Paper-trading a BTC funding-basis strategy on Binance testnet.

  • Mining variance risk premium and cross-sectional momentum on Upcomers CFDs.

  • Auditing the lookback window on variance risk premium against four years of out-of-sample data.

  • Drafting the thirty-one-gate eval harness write-up.
