Hi, I'm Carl.

I'm Carl Jassian C. Balaria, a full-stack developer from the Philippines. I build fast websites for businesses and complete AI-powered apps around large language models. I'm an application engineer, not an ML researcher: I take what the models can do and turn it into products people use.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2026 with a BS in Information Technology, major in Web Systems Technology, from Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology.

Hiring? I'm open to full-time roles as an AI Application Engineer or Full-Stack TypeScript Developer: remote, or onsite/hybrid in Metro Manila, Clark/Pampanga or Nueva Ecija.
