Hi, I'm JB

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of the Philippines Los Baños, based in Pasig City. I'm passionate about both applied technology and CS theory — from building full-stack web apps to exploring machine learning algorithms and databases.

Currently diving deep into database engineering, back-end development, cloud computing, and the elegant mathematics behind computation. I believe great software is both functional and thoughtful.
