James Florentino

I build software, and help businesses use AI well.

I run Warpgate, an AI operations practice for small and mid-sized businesses in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. We set up private AI assistants on top of a company's own documents and operating rules, then keep them working as the business changes.

Before this, I co-founded BuyBitcoin.ph in 2013, the first Bitcoin exchange in the Philippines, and ran Merge Commit, a small blockchain dev shop. I've been writing software since 2005, mostly on the systems side of things, occasionally crossing into design.

I prefer fewer projects and longer timelines. Most of what I work on takes years to come together, and I'm okay with that.
