Vision
Everyone deserves access.
To the tools, markets, and infrastructure that were built for someone else.
Origin Story
I started coding on a mobile phone. No computer. No degree. No mentor.
I had a problem — students in the Philippines couldn't afford the tools they needed to learn programming. So I built one. Over 6 months, alone, on my phone, I created SCode Studio — a mobile coding IDE that went on to reach students in 56 countries.
When I could borrow a PC, I worked on it. When the owner needed it back, I went back to my phone. That cycle repeated for months.
I was 18 years old.
That product got me featured in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, BusinessMirror, and national radio. TV networks reached out. Communities with millions of members shared the story.
I didn't plan for any of that. I just built something that solved a real problem. That's still how I work.
