AI automation engineer in Quezon City, Philippines

What I build

I build production systems that keep a human approval in the loop. I am the founder of HeyDenta, an AI receptionist and clinic platform for dental practices in the Philippines, and I build and run it alone. It covers patient chat with triage and booking on web and Messenger, a voice receptionist, an AI scribe, records and dental charts, collections and HMO claim tracking.

I also build Logproof: a run log, approval gate and client receipt for AI automations run by non-engineers (n8n, Make, Zapier, custom agents). It has been live since September 2026 and is pre-revenue. WingCue, in alpha, is an interview preparation tool: real-time cue cards from streaming speech-to-text and a streaming model, grounded to a truth-locked profile so it cannot invent experience.

How I work

My own operations run on an AI operating system I built: more than 100 scheduled jobs and agents behind a control plane with spend caps and a kill switch, typed human approval before any agent-proposed change merges, a weekly scorecard that audits my AI operator's replies, and a self-improvement loop that turns the top correction type into one rule change, gated by a replay test and my approval.

Before this

I shipped a 3-channel support chatbot (WhatsApp, Instagram, web) for a Malaysian e-commerce brand that handled about 70% of inquiries on its own, a data enrichment pipeline that populated and verified about 2,700 profiles across 27 countries, and a 30-day AI search visibility sprint for an NGO that took its score from 30 to 75. I studied at Far Eastern University in Manila.

Stack

Python, TypeScript, Next.js on Vercel, Supabase and Neon Postgres, n8n, Retell and Whisper for voice, Playwright, and promptfoo eval gates on production prompts.
