Who I'd like to meet:
About Me
I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines...a child of the martial law era during Marcos' regime. My family moved to Orange County, California after I finished high
school. Then, I went to college at UC Berkeley and resided at the International House. The San Francisco Bay Area is arguably the most livable metropolis in the planet. So, I happily stayed and worked there for several years after graduation. I also lived in Barcelona to study Castillian Spanish intensively. Prior to that, I backpacked by myself across Europe and North Africa for six months. But, Spain is still my favorite country. Two years ago, I moved to Amsterdam for graduate studies in International Development. My fieldwork was in the beautiful island of Cebu where I conducted research for four months.
I started my own company a year ago. Avatrian is a full-service metaverse development shop with a significant presence in Second Life. And, it is pretty much what pre-occupies a huge chunk of my time at the moment. But, I'm always up for taking on new and interesting challenges.
