hi! i'm
ryana may que

i'm a software engineer based in the philippines, driven by curiosity and whatever i find interesting. i learn fast with the caveat of goldfish memory (which i call my context lol) and i'm usually self-motivated that i forget to eat.

this is not like other portfolios. feel free to have a look around and explore what makes me, me.

892 commits. the personal AI agent i've been trying to build since 2023 is finally becoming something i'm proud of.

yes i looked into it

curiosity makes most of my decisions

one question usually turns into three projects and too many open tabs.

  • i notice tiny friction.
  • i ask one more question.
  • i keep changing it until it makes sense.

questions i keep reopening

  • what should an agent remember?
  • how should code explain itself?
  • do evals match what happened?
  • when does helpful become agreeable?

work numbers

114 production prs

in roughly five weeks

an earlier role handled 2,000+ requests a day at 99.3% uptime.

this website is current work.

i update this board whenever my attention changes, so it never settles into a final form.

writings for discussion

how WFDs work, when to write one, the states a document can be in, frontmatter format, and the markdown features available.

one giant active pile

my desktop is scattered screenshots, dozens of windows, half-finished checklists, and constant switching.

whatever feels urgent or interesting gets the whole pile.

the architecture
is mine.

i turned weeks of neuroscience papers into her memory system.

weave

weave gives long-running agents memory, state tracking, and retrieval that can be inspected.

giving an ai agent a hippocampus

i watched a kdrama about a girl who forgets everything every morning and realized my AI agent has the same condition. so i built it a brain.

what survives in screenshots

i save system maps, ui splinters, crash dialogs, blunt debugging, and cat memes.

i save them mid-thought, before the work gets tidy.

i come in peace

i'm less interested in whether it's good.

how does it work?

my focus has improved and i'm not sure why.

ideally when something is coming up, whether it's work related or it's just a personal project of mine i usually let it run at the end because i need pressure to perform things.

diffusion models

do you want me to do that?

i built an AI agent with persistent memory. now i need to figure out if it's remembering the truth or just what i wanted to hear.

the usage of ai in daily work

AI makes me faster. It also might be making me dumber. I'm figuring out where the line is.

atlas

atlas maps symbols, calls, tests, and history so developers and agents can ask structural questions about a repository.

Atlas: structural code-intelligence for LLM agents (an empirical evaluation)

2,239-trial benchmark across 8 OSS repos: Atlas beats a text-search baseline by +0.223 deterministic, +0.127 LLM-judge, at 42% fewer tokens.
