Build the eval harness first. Build the work that has to pass it second. Ship the third.
Eval-first methodology, two hats: senior Quant Researcher designing reproducible alpha on public data and AI Engineer shipping multi-agent LLM systems behind frozen eval harnesses. 6 paper-traded strategies, 6 production AI projects, 25 public GitHub repos, and a 31-gate stack with a public kill log. Manual-only posture on live capital.

#01AI
11-Agent Eval-First Research Platform
systematic-strategy desk (NDA-protected; closed past contract 03/2026 - 06/2026)
Evidence
~27,500 words of role-scoped agent charters
31-gate statistical evaluation harness (G1-G31)
~76,500 LOC light-dependency Python
Outcome
Caught and documented false positives as enforced methodology (each banked into the desk's research-integrity
playbook). Shipped an automated monthly forward-OOS monitoring fleet : scheduled data pull → S3 sync →
frozen-spec evaluation → ledger : that produced un-gameable live performance evidence.
**Anti-self-approval** governance pattern documented as a reusable convention
**Jurisdiction-aware prompting** for PH tax/regulatory rules
Outcome
Produced a clean separation-of-duties trail : every proposal had a corresponding validator hand-off,
the validator never originated the proposal, and every decision was ledgered for later audit.
The same separation-of-duties principle was reused at the systematic-strategy desk for LLM research validation.
8-Agent Editorial Production Pipeline (SLOP ↓ 96%)
Editorial AI / Content Automation
Evidence
**SLOP index dropped from 81 → 3** on the working corpus
**Mechanical validator** enforced the gate (exit-0 contract)
**Rewrite-before-publish** semantics in the agent charter
Outcome
Production volume held; editorial-review labor fell (the gate did the rejection). The
SLOP-scanner is one of the OSS projects in the AI portfolio (separate repo).
I work at the intersection of multi-agent LLM systems andsystematic trading research. The through-line is one engineering principle: don't ship what hasn't passed a measurable quality gate.11 agents in an orchestrator-worker topology. A 31-gate statistical evaluation harness. Pre-registered research windows. Public-data reproducibility. Headline metrics you can verify.
Most recently I shipped the same 31-gate harness against LLM outputs and systematic strategies on a closed past contract (systematic-strategy desk, 03/2026 to 06/2026, NDA-protected). Before that: a 7-agent venture-incubation pipeline under Macion Ventures, an 8-agent content-production pipeline for editorial automation, and a portfolio of runnable AI projects. RAG scorecard, ReAct tool-calling agent, MCP eval server, LLM-as-judge harness, reflection agent, AI-slop evaluation gate.
On the quant side I design and backtest systematic strategies on crypto and equities :9 reproducible public-data projects spanning multiple-testing (Deflated Sharpe), cross-sectional and time-series alpha, volatility carry, cointegration, funding-carry, regime overlays, transaction-cost realism, and look-ahead-bias audits. Every project ships with the senior-research discipline: locked OOS windows, block-bootstrap CIs, methodology declared up-front, not bolted on at the end.
Based in Digos City, Davao del Sur, Philippines (UTC+8) (UTC+8). 30 hrs/wk remote, APAC + US-premarket overlap. 102 professional certifications across AI, finance, math/statistics, and event flagships. built up in 11 months. I write about what I'm learning and ship the things I'm building.

Disclosure posture
How to read the numbers on this site.
All work shown here is NDA-safe. The systematic-strategy desk role is a closed past contract (03/2026 to 06/2026) under a PM with publicly attributable initials. I do not reference per-strategy t-stats, bps figures, live Sharpe numbers, proprietary data sources, fund-renames, or any desk-internal terms. Headline metrics cite public-data work or open-source runnable projects. If a proof you need is missing, email me the JD and I'll send back a tailored version within 24 hours.
