I'm into all sorts of things. Maybe we can work on something together?
I've always had a hard time picking what it is I'm most into over the course of my life. There are just so many awesome things out there in the world to be involved in, why just choose one? I believe that incredible things can come out of the most unlikely partnerships.
Design thinking has always been my mindset. There's just something special about creating something new with your hands, whatever it is... 3D modelling and printing, Lego, basic woodworking, and hopefully electronics as well soon.
Coding is making too :)
Racing brings together a lot of my varied interests: engineering, business/economics, sport, and community. It's something I love doing both in real life and in the simulator.
I've participated in the AAP's Motorsport Development Program, Touge Battle, the Philippine Rallycross Series, and helped organize virtual events for MP Turbo.
I've always enjoyed tinkering with technology and poking around the deepest levels of software settings, so programming was a natural next step. I love the way it demands both the ability to solve problems creatively and then the application of those ideas in a logical and systematic fashion.
I've been at it on and off since 2002 (see my lame 2011-era video footage to the side), skating parks all around Asia-Pacific along the way.
Used to have a side project bringing in gear from shops all over the world to the Philippines, but scale was difficult at the time and so it's closed now. I also learned a lot about filming and editing video from being involved in this scene.
I graduated from the University of the Philippines with a degree in Business Administration. And while most of my related experience afterwards was in marketing, I'm perfectly comfortable discussing economics, finance, corporate strategy, or management, and have even been called up to draft a contract or two.
I've helped organize an indie-orchestra mashup concert, football tournaments, and an online contest to name a professional basketball team, among many other less interesting things.
