A proof of concept for agentic development at SK‑II, built on a cross‑repo context pipeline

Time to ship a feature: 1 week down to 1 day

Every feature touched four codebases, so the workflow itself was the bottleneck. I built a cross-repo context pipeline to coordinate those changes, and shipping a feature went from a week to a day.

Hiring, or have something you want built? Either way, I’d like to hear about it.

For recruiters

Product or engineering roles

I’m looking for full-time work in product or engineering, ideally on AI products built around agents. I’ve shipped as an engineer and I care just as much about the business need behind a feature. I’m based in Manila and open to remote roles.

For clients

Building something

I take on freelance work, from internal tools to full web apps and sites. Tell me what the business needs and how it runs today, and I’ll come back with what I’d build and how long it would take.
