  • Hands-on fluency with the tools your teams already use
  • Judgment: what to delegate to AI, and what never to

My path to AI began with people—their needs, challenges, and everyday work—not with algorithms or models.

Adoption is a human problem with a technical surface. When people struggle with AI, it's rarely because the technology isn't capable. It's because nobody designed the fit between the tool and their real, messy, everyday work. That's the gap I bridge.

Whether I'm working with an executive or building Lakbay, a travel app for overseas workers, the goal is the same: making complex systems actually work for the people who need them.

The journey

How I got here

2009

Contact center floor, Philippines

Nine months on the phones — long enough to never forget what frontline work feels like.

2009–2018

Real-time analysis, workforce planning & data analytics

Learned that numbers only matter when they change what people do.

2018–2022

Resource planning leader + independent digital marketing practice

Learned to lead teams through tools they didn't ask for.

2022

Total Experience Manager, enterprise group, Doha

Learned adoption at scale: customer and employee experience across a cross-industry enterprise group.

2026

AI adoption, full focus

Everything above, applied to the biggest tool shift of our careers.

Let's talk adoption.
