How a startup bootcamp shifted my perspective on college life
I came into college thinking org life was the main path to growth. But after joining ASES 0 to 1, I realized there’s a whole world outside it I hadn’t made space for.

Portfolio
A selection of projects I've built, from web applications to side projects that solve real problems

A matchmaking web app that mixes the fun of a party game with the flow of a dating app, built to make group events more engaging.

I helped build a centralized registration and member tracking system for MISA, a 550-member organization.

A web app that helps Ateneo students track their grades, predict their QPI, and plan ahead throughout the semester.

Hi there. I’m Alexi, a Computer Science student who enjoys building things, tinkering with code, and sometimes stumbling into bugs I probably wasn’t supposed to find. I’ve been meaning to start a blog for a while now, mostly to have a space where I can share the things I’m learning, building, and occasionally breaking (in good faith, of course).
