Who is Bon
(fair warning — I like competitions a little too much)
I grew up in a small province in the Philippines,
schooling across Luzon. Moving around taught me to adapt quickly and ask better questions — a habit that shaped everything about how I learn. I was always the kid pulling things apart to figure out how they worked.
"Mastery is a beautiful byproduct of discipline and dedication."
Competition became my workshop.
Spelling bees, MTAP, chess — I competed in everything from school to national levels. Every loss was an iteration: analyze, improve, try again. That discipline now shows up in how I polish features and ship work that matters.
Then I discovered I could build things for other people.
In high school, I made a game that hit 80–140 daily concurrent players worldwide. I led student organizations, ran for student government, and learned that work made with people matters more than work made alone.
