Fiel Now

I'm Fiel, an early career researcher & technologist 😼

I lead growth and value creation at Roundtable (Developer Camp '26 Winner), where we build a queryable corpus of legislative and administrative instruments, connecting public deliberation to the governing record the instant decisions depend on it. In addition, I research with the leadership of the University of the Philippines, the Atlantic Institute, and the Heinrich Böll Foundation, evolving from summer engagements on existential risks at Oxford, technical AI safety at Charles and the Czech Academy of Sciences, and international trade law at Newcastle.

Beyond, I am a co-founder and director of Safe AI Philippines, where we enable practitioners to transition into public-interest oversight roles in tech. I also join fellow civil society leaders at convenings in the UN to advance international cooperation on AI, extending earlier policy advisory work at a practice I co-founded with counterparts across Asia.

Broadly, I address legibility failures around frontier technologies and food system risks when capital and institutions overlook beings outside prevailing boundaries of moral concern. I focus on evidence, ecosystem building, and financing to reinforce resilience.

Born in Bacolod and raised in Silay and Dumaguete, I studied the humanities and the performing and visual arts through high school, while championing circularity and decarbonization with grassroots communities and the Catholic Church. I carry these into Cebu now, where I reside for undergrad and serve the World Economic Forum's Shaper community as Vice Curator.

When withdrawing from these realms, I read, lift, or actually try to sleep.
