Available for full-time work from August 2026

Engineering rigor. Data clarity. Reliable execution.

I am Kerwin Dio Joseph Arlan, a continuing Civil Engineering student at UP Diliman. I automate PAGASA cyclone tracking, calibrate storm-surge models for Manila Bay, and bring hands-on data analysis, AI data operations, and construction quality control to every team I join.

Watch Alley - Zero-Cost Viber Broadcast

Three merged PRs in the official Watch Alley repo. The flagship replaces a €100/mo Viber Business API with a native viber://forward deep link: one click opens Viber pre-filled with the watch name, the canonical URL on line 2 so Viber's crawler fetches the og:image, and specs truncated at word boundaries to fit OS URI limits.
