Builder from Cebu. I make things with code, AI, and whatever works.
This is my build log. See what I'm working on, what I've shipped, and the journey along the way.
The daily log. Everything I'm working on, learning, thinking.
Speaking at DevFest Cebu 2025
Talk is ready for tomorrow. Nervous but prepared. The blog series helped me think through everything clearly. Now it's about delivery and connecting with the audience. Let's go.
Published the last post in the series — automating responsible AI development. Pre-commit hooks, CI gates, PR templates. You can't automate judgment, but you can automate the scaffolding that forces you to apply it.
→ AI & AutomationDevFest slides coming together. The story flows into the framework, framework into human nature, then practical tooling. 50 minutes. Going to leave time for real Q&A — that's where the good stuff happens.
Rebuilding this site to be more alive — a feed of daily updates, bigger milestone posts, all anchored around Build/Learn/Teach/Life tracks. Goal: make it easy to share what I'm working on without overthinking it.
Writing the honest part of the series — why the framework is hard to follow. Generation is exciting, verification is boring. We're tired, AI never is. I catch myself cutting corners too. That's the real talk.
→ AI & AutomationThinking about what a sustainable builder life looks like from Cebu. Not the hustle-bro version. The version where you ship things that matter, teach what you learn, and still have time to live.
Planning the next Learn with Dorell cohort. The goal: help beginners build real systems step by step, not just follow tutorials. Small groups, real projects, honest feedback.

Longer reflections and milestone posts.
You can't automate judgment. But you can automate the scaffolding that forces you to apply it. Here's how to make responsible AI use the path of least resistance.
The framework is simple. Following it is hard. Not because it's complicated — because we're human. Here are the temptations, the warning signs, and how to build the discipline.
Most builder sites show the finished work. Mine shows the daily motion. This is why I built a public system to track projects and progress in real time.
