20+ years in operations and finance across Accenture, Scotiabank, and entrepreneurship. Now pursuing CPA and building Islas Tech—an AI back-office platform for immigrant entrepreneurs.
I spent eight years running iSLAS Filipino BBQ & Bar—managing everything from kitchen ops to financial close. That experience taught me one truth: small business operators are drowning in fragmented systems, not capital or customers.
I built a custom Excel reconciliation system that eliminated a recurring bank-to-POS settlement gap, reducing discrepancies by 95% and cutting month-end close time by 40%. That fix became my north star: real operators need real clarity, not more noise.
"The missing piece of Islas wasn't people or customers—it was a system."
Today, I'm completing my CPA PREP, deepening my AI expertise through Rotman's Generative & Agentic AI program, and building Islas Tech—an agentic operating system that centralizes operator intelligence into one coherent, actionable workflow.
Finance and operations across enterprise, banking, real estate, and entrepreneurship. Each role taught me how to build systems that scale.
Building LBO models, designing AI-assisted financial workflows, advising on accounting systems. SAP S/4HANA certified. Python automation for financial modeling.
Building agentic operating system for immigrant entrepreneurs. 100-Operator Data Sprint. Tech stack: Claude API, n8n, Python, Snowflake.
Built and scaled Filipino hospitality concept. Full P&L ownership. Designed financial operations, digital transformation, and community programs (Pinay Tayo Toronto).
SAP FI/CO at Accenture. Mortgage administration at Scotiabank. Property accounting at Daniels Corp. Foundation in full-cycle accounting and enterprise systems.
It's not just credentials. It's the ability to see fragmentation and build clarity. Here's what I bring to any finance role:
This wasn't a spreadsheet—it was a reconciliation framework. Bank-to-POS settlement gaps that plagued the business monthly. I engineered a solution that reduced variance by 95%, shortened month-end close, and freed my team for strategy.
Why it matters: I don't just analyze numbers. I engineer systems that make operators' lives easier—and that's exactly what finance teams need: someone who sees the operator's pain and builds solutions, not just reports.
The vision: A sophisticated agentic operating system that moves small business owners from anxiety-driven to clarity-driven management.
Instead of logging into eight platforms, operators get one unified, intelligent workflow. By late 2026, the Islas Tech API will allow this "brain" to integrate into any small business, starting with the Philippines diaspora and scaling globally.
I'm currently running the 100-Operator Data Sprint—30-minute diagnostic sessions with immigrant entrepreneurs, generating a proprietary dataset that becomes the foundation of the system.
Whether you're interested in finance roles, Islas Tech, or just want to explore ideas around operations and AI—I'd love to hear from you.
