Early in college, I have been familiarizing myself with engineering design and simulation software such as Solidworks, AutoCAD, ANSYS, and COMSOL. Upon knowing this, my peers and professors have commissioned me to help in their work. I have been able to successfully apply my knowledge in the above-mentioned software in other undergraduate studies as well as research projects before starting my own undergraduate thesis. Even more commissions came after I graduated in 2021. The most notable of these can be found in the Projects page.

While waiting to begin reviewing for my licensure examination, I began taking commissions through Upwork. I've been able to apply the skills that I've learned for clients who have commissioned designs and simulations.

After passing my licensure examination, I've heard through my peers that AdDU was in need of more instructors. I applied part-time to fill this need and to pay forward the work my professors have given. This has helped me gain skills in managing large groups of people, as well as learning new data analysis skills in handling the student’s scores and grades. Teaching has also kept my theoretical knowledge sharp. The notable courses I’ve taught were Advanced Engineering Mathematics, Mechanics of Rigid Bodies, and Mechanics of Deformable Bodies. Also, through teaching, I was able to improve on how to simplify and present complex topics. 

Upon being hired as a part-time instructor, I was immediately called upon to apply as an assistant researcher for an externally funded project in the university. This project was endorsed by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and funded the National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP). As an assistant researcher, my responsibilities were to help in the installation of Automated Weather Stations (AWS) and manage its operations, as well as provide a paper that presents the significance of weather variables. The latter responsibility was my master's project study.

The contractual project's objectives were to install AWS and internet access to AdDU affiliated schools in remote areas of Mindanao. These locations were Lake Sebu, Dinagat Island, Kalanganan, and Tawi-Tawi.
