👋 Hi I'm Alpri

I'm an AIxSoftware builder that loves bridging UX with computer science fundamentals and cutting-edge research.

I studied Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). While there I was involved with the Philippine Student Association (PSA) and Reflections Projections in web infrastructure and mentoring roles.

I previously worked at HubSpot where I was a Software Engineer working on 0-1 projects. I've stood up AWS Infrastructure from scratch and was a founding engineer on an "AI Startup within a company" team at HubSpot.
