About

I’m Rhine, a designer, photographer, and researcher based in the Philippines. My work brings together AI engineering, causal reasoning, and tools for research.

Design is the foundation of my work. It gives imagination a form I can build, question, and refine. Photography and nature shape my sense of framing and restraint; I bring that same care to software.

I’m building toward intelligent systems that can explain, remember, and reason causally. Their answers should keep sources, evidence, and uncertainty visible, remain open to correction, and leave room for human judgment.
