About

I build enterprise AI infrastructure. As CEO of NMBLR, I lead an AI orchestration platform helping large enterprises move from AI pilots to production — powering data, analytics, and agentic workflows for some of Southeast Asia's largest conglomerates in banking, retail, and food service. I've built and exited three companies — Gluecode (acquired by IBM), LogicBlaze (acquired by Iona), and Webtide (acquired by Intalio) — and spent my early career at Intel Capital. That pattern-recognition across enterprise software cycles is what NMBLR is built on: the orchestration layer is where AI value concentrates, and we're building it before it commoditizes. Alongside NMBLR, I chair Talino Fintech Foundry, whose portfolio includes Higala (national inclusive banking infrastructure for the Philippines), BayaniPay (cross-border payments), and Bahai Deals (property platform for global Filipinos). Born in Bohol, raised in Cagayan de Oro — I build for markets the incumbents overlook.
