About Me
Bridging Worlds
I bridge the physical and digital worlds—designing in 3D, modeling in CAD, and bringing things to life with microcontrollers. From the beautiful shores of Palawan, I craft solutions that merge hardware, software, and design to build a more sustainable future.

🌊 Red Tide Monitoring and Alert System
Real-time water quality monitoring system that detects harmful algal bloom (red tide) conditions and provides early warnings to coastal communities in Palawan. "Protecting Palawan's waters, one sensor at a time."
Key Achievements:
- Early Warning System – Automatic SMS alerts when dangerous conditions detected
- Multi-Parameter Monitoring – 4 critical water quality metrics (pH, temp, DO, turbidity)
- Solar-Powered – Designed for remote coastal deployment
- Complete 3D Design – Waterproof enclosure and mounting systems in Fusion 360
- Cloud Dashboard – Historical data logging and trend analysis
Custom-built autonomous robot for sumo competitions designed to push opponents out of the ring. Powered by an Arduino Nano, it features an L298N motor driver, IR sensors for opponent and edge detection, and a precise 200x200mm footprint.
Arduino-based vending machine dispensing three Polvoron flavors using continuous rotation servos. Features an HX711 load cell for drop verification, a non-blocking 5-PHP coin checking engine, and an interactive SSD1306 OLED interface.
Smart agricultural monitoring system that measures vital soil nutrients—Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K)—and displays real-time concentration data on a 16x2 LCD for precise fertilizer management.
ESP32-based 4-slot battery capacity testing station. Features independent charge/discharge cycle testing, real-time INA226 precision monitoring, a Python WiFi dashboard, and automated Google Sheets data logging.
Advanced Arduino Nano-powered physical rehabilitation device providing controlled, repeatable linear motion for knee and ankle therapy. Includes a 5-mode menu interface, precision stepper control, and real-time movement monitoring.
