Meet the Builder Behind the Systems

IamaFilipinoAIengineerwithabackgroundincomputerscience,workingacrossGuamandAustralia.Ibuildthesystemsbusinessesrunon—theworkflows,agentsandintegrationsthatquietlydotheworknobodyshouldbedoingbyhand.

It started with curiosity about how digital businesses actually operate, moved through marketing and e-commerce, and landed where the leverage is: automation and applied AI. Every project since has been the same question — what is still manual here, and why?

I build for the boring case, not the demo. Modular workflows, validation before anything downstream trusts the data, fallback logic, and documentation good enough that the system outlives my involvement.

Operating principle

Reliability over complexity. If a system cannot be maintained by the people who inherit it, it is not finished.

  1. Started exploring technology and digital business — teaching myself how online operations actually work.

  2. Entered digital marketing and got my first real taste of automation: connecting tools so campaigns ran themselves.

  3. Built e-commerce and digital projects end to end, learning what breaks when a business tries to scale on manual process.

  4. Went deep on AI and automation systems — LLMs, agents, structured extraction, and orchestration platforms.

  5. Went into production work: automation workflows and AI assistants running for real operations teams, starting in roadside recovery.

  6. Automation roles across three companies in Guam and Australia, moving from automation specialist to AI engineer, while building Repomanta — my own lab for AI-powered business systems.

Technology Stack

The tools behind the systems

Grouped by the job it does rather than by how impressive the row looks. Hover any technology to see what it is actually doing in a build — and if that reads as a capability rather than a product, it carries initials instead of a logo, because it is one.

// category

The reasoning layer — where judgement and unstructured data get handled.

Featured Systems

Systems built, deployed and running

177 workflows in the library, across n8n and Make. Six of them are broken down in full below — select one to see how it works, then browse the whole catalogue underneath.

SYSTEM 01

AI Virtual Office Assistant

DEPLOYED

An AI-powered assistant integrated with Gmail, Calendar and OpenAI to manage business operations and automate repetitive administrative tasks.

Workflow

Problem
Admin work was scattered across an inbox and a calendar. Scheduling, follow-ups and status updates consumed hours a day and nothing was tracked in one place.
Solution
An agent with scoped tools: it reads the inbox, understands intent, books and reschedules calendar events, drafts replies, and logs every action. Anything outbound waits for a human approval step.
Business impact
Administrative work becomes review-and-approve instead of read-and-retype. Nothing falls through the gaps because every request is captured as a tracked action.

The library

177 workflows, built and exported

The full catalogue from my workflow library — read straight from the n8n exports and Make blueprints, not a curated highlight reel. 136 of them open as a node diagram.

Client-owned blueprints are listed by what they do; names, brands and people are stripped at build time, and their node structure is not published at all — that structure is the client's business logic.

    Adaptive HSV Cocolisap Detection

    Undergraduate thesis — computer vision

    My BSCS thesis: detecting coconut scale insect (cocolisap) infestation on coconut leaves from ordinary photographs, without a neural network. The pipeline segments the leaf, builds a MAD-normalised colour-distance map in HSV space, and thresholds it per image rather than against constants tuned once and frozen. Traditional fixed-threshold HSV is implemented alongside it as the baseline, so every claim is a comparison rather than an assertion.

    • Evaluated per pixel on 222 annotated test images against COCO reference masks.
    • Adaptive thresholding lifts recall from 0.15 to 0.64 against the fixed-threshold HSV baseline, and trades precision to get it.
    • Accuracy is not a usable metric on this data: predicting no infestation at all scores 0.8971, because only ~10% of pixels are infested. The work is defended on F1 and IoU instead.

How I Build

Five stages, every engagement

  1. 01

    Discover

    Understand the business and bottlenecks.

    I map how the work actually flows today — not how the process document says it does. The goal is finding where time leaks and why.

  2. 02

    Architect

    Design the automation and AI system.

    Data model, integration points, failure modes and human checkpoints get decided before a single node is built.

  3. 03

    Build

    Develop workflows, integrations and AI agents.

    Modular workflows with shared error handling, validated AI steps, and version control so a change is reviewable.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    Launch the system into production.

    Staged rollout with monitoring and alerting from day one, plus documentation and a handover the team can actually use.

  5. 05

    Optimize

    Monitor, improve and scale.

    Run data shows what to tighten. Systems get faster, cheaper and more reliable as they earn more responsibility.

    Document extraction accuracy harness

    A test bench that scores extraction prompts against a labelled document set, so prompt changes are measured rather than guessed at.
