About

Building at the
intersection of AI
& engineering.

I'm Lawrence Panes, a Filipino developer and AI engineer studying at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines in Manila. I lead AI initiatives for student tech organizations, ship production apps, and compete in hackathons. Three podium finishes in 2026 so far.

Outside the terminal I speak at workshops, mentor aspiring developers, and contribute to open-source data communities. I believe great engineering should make a real, measurable difference, not just pass code review.
