Hey, I'm Rodney Maisog 👋

I build whole AI systems, usually on my own.

Rodney James M. Maisog

Hey, I'm Rodney. I build AI systems end to end from Manila, everything from the agents themselves to the pipelines and infrastructure around them. Usually as the only engineer in the room.

It all started with Minecraft. Redstone gave me my first taste of logic and circuits, and I learned to program because I wanted to build my own mods. I never really stopped building. These days it's AI systems instead of pistons.

This page is the long version of me. If you'd rather just ask, the chat on the home page answers as me.

Where I've been working

AI Engineer · LANDinc (Contract)

  • I'm the lead engineer on an RFP-intelligence platform that watches 10 procurement portals so nobody at the firm has to.
  • My agents score every opportunity against the firm's DNA, and inbound invitations turn into Go/No-Go briefs on their own.
  • I also shipped lead triage for the principals and a multi-tenant SaaS platform on FastAPI, Next.js 15, Postgres, and Railway.

Founding AI Engineer · Bscale Labs

  • I'm a founding engineer on an AI concierge that answers thousands of customer messages a day on Facebook, Instagram, and SMS.
  • I own its channel layer: Facebook Messenger and Instagram integrations, the unified inbox, and bookings, plus branch-scoped tenancy with per-branch agents, knowledge bases, and reply templates.
  • I also build dispatcher tooling for an emergency-response ecosystem (a citizen reporting app, a field responder app, and a dispatch platform), including incident checklists, community-concern triage, and AI-assisted categorization.

Software Engineer · Control Flow Labs

  • I contributed to building a dashboard that pulls eCommerce and ad data into one live view.
  • I owned features end to end, from design through deployment.
  • This is where I got introduced to AI-native workflows, building with AI agents as part of the day-to-day engineering process.

Software Engineer Intern · Springboard Philippines

  • I built their internal project-management tool in Laravel and React, from design through deployment.

Software Engineer Intern · Elinnov Technologies

  • I helped build an ESG dashboard that turned messy waste data into actual sustainability decisions.

A Taglish AI co-pilot I built to walk Filipino micro-entrepreneurs through business registration.

React 19 · tRPC · Firebase · Gemini · Document AI

1st place · Innolympics 2026

Local Brain · multi-agent knowledge system

My personal knowledge base. It reads, indexes, and answers, and it works entirely offline.

Python · ChromaDB · Ollama

PH Pulse · socioeconomic data platform

I made Philippine socioeconomic data queryable: pipeline to warehouse to AI insight.

Python · dbt · BigQuery · Gemini

Zen · personalized learning platform

Learning that adapts to the student: flashcards, RAG, and progress you can actually see.

Next.js · Supabase · Flask · Gemini

2nd place · ISEAC 2025

Iskonek · anonymous chat platform

Anonymous realtime chat I kept safe with AI moderation, plus a friend system.

Next.js · React · TypeScript · Supabase

realtime chat

Latch · AI agent attention router

My Mac notch control surface for supervising AI coding agents: approvals, questions, and completions in one queue.

Swift · SwiftUI · AppKit · macOS

closed beta

PC Builder Chatbot · RAG parts recommender

Ask it for a build, get real parts: retrieval over a PC-components catalog, with follow-ups that remember context.

Python · ChromaDB · LangChain · Gemini · Streamlit

What I build with

Works in daily
Python and TypeScript, usually wearing FastAPI and Next.js. This is the daily loop.
AI systems
Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI in production; RAG pipelines with PydanticAI, LangChain, Ollama, and ChromaDB.
Data & infrastructure
PostgreSQL, Supabase, and BigQuery for the data; Railway, AWS, and Docker to keep it all running.
Also fluent in
React, Flask, Laravel, Express, MCP, and whatever the system needs.

Communities I'm part of

Senior Frontend Developer · AWS Cloud Club PUP

  • I've mentored 100+ members, and the club site peaked at 1,000+ visits.

Innovations Team Member · AWSUG Philippines

  • I built the AWSUG Community Day site, which sold 200+ tickets.

Where I studied

Polytechnic University of the Philippines Manila · BS Computer Science

Summa Cum Laude · 1.14 GWA2nd place · ISEAC 20254th place · PUP Hackathon 2023

Off the clock

Right now I'm deep in the agentic-coding rabbit hole, running Claude Code agents on everything and seeing how far local LLMs can go on my own hardware. Latch and Local Brain both crawled out of that obsession.

Away from the keyboard I lift and I run, and I still game: competitive titles when I want to sweat, story-driven ones when I don't, and something on my phone in between.

The tinkering never really stops either. I automate my own life with agents, ship random app ideas nobody asked for, and poke at open source when something bugs me enough.
