Product manager · Builder · New York

Part product manager, part tinkerer.

I like turning ideas into something real, then learning what works. Here's what I'm building now and what came before.

About me

Seeded in the Philippines. Watered in India. Planted in California. Potted up to New York.

You can say my ideology is rooted internationally.

But really, diversity — in living and in thinking — has always been a part of me.

On the workbench.

Side projects I'm working on right now, each with the problem, what I built, and what I learned along the way.

Live

Design your own made-to-measure suit, priced at cost.

The problemI ran a concierge made-to-measure suit service: consultations, fabric choices, measurements, orders with our tailors, fittings. Every order needed me in the middle, so it couldn't grow as a side project.

Idea stage

On the drawing board

AI · Consumer app

An AI-powered inventory for the home kitchen.

The problemKnowing what's in the kitchen, how much is left and what's about to expire takes more effort than anyone wants to spend, so food gets wasted and groceries get bought twice.
