Robotics & AI Systems Engineer · Cebu, Philippines

MONTERDE

I build AI agents, robots and the tools that run them.

From CAD and circuits to production AI. One engineer, end to end.

ABOUT

Most teams hire four people to ship one autonomous system: a mechanical designer, an electronics engineer, an AI developer and someone to build the internal tools. I'm all four. I design the hardware, build the AI, make the tools around it, and train your team to run it.

Based in Cebu, Philippines. Working with founders and engineering teams in the US and worldwide.

The Stack

“The only stack that matters is the one that solves the problem.”

How I Work

Fixed scope, fixed timeline. Week 0 is access and setup, then a demo every week, then handover with docs and training. You own the code and the accounts from day one. Security is built in: personal data is scrubbed before it reaches an AI model, access is role-based, and every feature is reviewed before release.

Now

Founding Engineer, Lead Robotics & AI Architect at Klick Drone — I own the AI drone program's architecture across mechanical, electronics and software.

Pod Lead & Technical Lead at Prime AI — I lead a delivery pod building custom AI platforms for founder-led businesses on fixed 6-week scopes.

WHAT I BUILD

Custom AI Agents for Business

AI agents that plug into your CRM, inbox, docs and calendar and do real work, not demos.

AI Sales Call Analysis

Every sales call transcribed, graded against your playbook and rolled into CRM dashboards, so coaching runs on what actually happened.

Physical AI & Robotics

Computer vision, sensor fusion and embedded control for robots that sense, decide and act in the real world.

Hardware Prototyping Services

Mechanical CAD, 3D-printed parts, wiring and sensor integration, from sketch to a working prototype.

Custom Internal Tools & Dashboards

Admin panels, data pipelines and dashboards your team actually opens every day, with role-based access built in.

AI Training for Employees

Hands-on workshops that take your team from "we tried ChatGPT" to running AI in daily work, on your own tools.

SELECTED WORK

QuixyFit Corp. / NoFace

Hybrid Leadership Framework

Leading small engineering teams to deliver high-quality MVPs rapidly across radically different domains—from real-time multiplayer games to AI automation systems.

  • 10+ MVPs in 10 months
  • 62-70% faster delivery
  • 60-70% cost reduction

Outbound Lead Gen

Cost-Efficient Call Engine

A telecom-grade solution for high-volume outbound calls using keyword detection and FSM architecture instead of expensive generative AI.

Decision Latency

Eeve + Memograph / AI Dev Tooling

AI Memory Management

A code graph like graphify stops agents re-reading files. Most setups stop there, and agents still forget every decision, fix and dead end the moment a session ends. My build doesn't. Memograph keeps a running memory of past work across sessions and projects, so each agent starts where the last one left off. Eeve plans the job, sends each task to the cheapest model that can handle it, runs independent pieces in parallel and puts one senior model on review.

  • ~70% usage cost reduction
  • Remembers decisions, not just code
  • Cheapest capable model per task
TypicalCode graph only: decisions forgotten, one model does everything
