work
I work as a digital project manager and operations manager. I oversee the creation and development of websites and digital marketing campaigns. I develop and refine project management systems, templates, and SOPs to standardize operations and enhance efficiency accross all project stages.
I’m not accepting additional work and business proposals.
projects
I write for Call Center Training Tips. I share lessons and videos about communication skills and customer service to help low-income Filipinos qualify for higher-paying jobs.
I’m working on improving my skills in project management, video, and email marketing.
I’m on a journey to achieve tech independence, a state where I control and manage my own digital information. This involves migrating my data away from cloud-based services such as Simplenote, Evernote, Dropbox, iCloud, and Google’s servers.
I manage a small discord server to equip and empower local freelance professionals.
personal
I rarely leave home and say no to all invitations and requests.
I spend my free time blogging and drawing.
I share my ideas in my email newsletter and Minimal Changes blog. I write about my experiences and thoughts on productivity, personal finance, and health.
I now run a small private dog shelter that cares for eleven rescue dogs.
I practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling duiring weekends.
I follow a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet to maintain my muscle mass and meet Jiu-Jitsu competition weight requirements.
I avoid eating out, consuming carbs, sugar, and eat mostly meat and eggs.
I geek out on anime, manga, and J-pop idols.
recent progress
Competed at the February 2025 Relentless Asia SuperFight. Signed up under 83kg but ended up in an absolutes match against a bigger, stronger, more experienced ~90kg opponent. Took the fight on a week’s notice after bed rest. Lost via points—first time my counter sequence failed. Blocked all submission attempts, including a fully locked-in kimura I’m particularly proud of. A loss is a loss, but it’s part of the journey as a casual competitive grappler.
I took home one gold and three silver medals in the Asian Jiu-Jitsu Federation Masters 2 middle-heavy and open weight division.
I participated in two long-distance cycling events, riding over 100 km in Subic and Batangas.
I take care of nine eighteen adorable rescue dogs.
I rescued Kaori.
Bella gave birth to Caramel.
Bella gave birth to Toru, Syrup, Yui, Jiho, Chomper.
Missy passed away in 2023.
Bella gave birth to Haru, Rie, and Tomori.
I rescued and adopted Bella and Fidel.
