About Me

My work focuses on designing reliable APIs, optimizing database performance, and bridging the gap between robust backend architectures and dynamic frontend interfaces to support real-world, production-level applications.

I have experience delivering full-stack custom CMS platforms, interactive real-time dashboards, and AI-driven automation workflows, maintaining a strong emphasis on code quality, security best practices, and overall system maintainability.

Outside of active development, I continuously explore emerging technologies—including practical AI integrations and LLMs—to refine my engineering workflows and contribute to projects that strengthen my understanding of scalable, secure, and user-centric system design.

Currently working on:Software Engineering projects

Undergraduate Thesis

CVRankify: Automating Pre-Interview Resume Screening for Remote Software Engineers with Generative Pre-Trained Model

Western Mindanao State University - College of Computing Studies · 2022-2026

A web-based application integrating a locally hosted generative pre-trained transformer to contextually parse and evaluate PDF resumes for remote software engineering recruitment.

  • Addressed the bottleneck in remote software engineering recruitment caused by rigid keyword matching in traditional applicant tracking systems (ATS).
  • Developed a web-based application that integrates a locally hosted generative pre-trained transformer model (Qwen3:8b) via the Ollama framework to parse and evaluate PDF resumes contextually.
  • Evaluated resumes against four customizable, weighted criteria: skills, experience, education, and time-zone compatibility.
  • Achieved a high degree of agreement (Kendall’s W=0.9569) between the AI rankings and expert human judgment, effectively mitigating common human recruiter biases.
  • Optimized local inference to process 100 ATS-standard resumes at an average of 20 seconds per applicant using an NVIDIA RTX 3070 GPU.
