Jude Gamboa

Hi, I'm Jude — a software engineer who builds enterprise and production systems by day, focused on scalable architecture and turning complex business problems into practical solutions.

Outside of work, I enjoy building things on my own — experimenting with side projects, exploring new technologies, and currently deep in learning AI engineering.
