ABOUT ME

I currently work as the Academic Area Chair for the DLSU Game Development Lab (DGDL) in College of Computer Studies (CCS) of De La Salle University-Manila, a knowledge center of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. I earned my Bachelors Degree, graduated summa cum laude, and Masters degree, graduated with high distinction, in the same university.

I am currently working together as the Chair for the DLSU Game Development Lab (DGDL). I am currently working on a flash-based massively multiplayer game to be facebook teaching the youth about social accountability called Plutopia. The application is currently still on alpha and is still undergoing development and testing.

I am particularly interested in developing virtual worlds and multiplayer games, and integrating it to make use of existing social networks to enhance user experience and make them more pervasive. From what I mentioned above, my current research interests are mainly building and integrating web communities, virtual worlds, massively multiplayer games and social networks.
