Hi! I’m J.F.R. Perseveranda, an IT consultant living in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I’m the founder and publisher of PinoyBuilt, a digital magazine dedicated to the Filipino-American diaspora and the global Filipino community. Through PinoyBuilt, I write about culture, identity, history, politics, and the evolving Filipino experience in America.

Outside of publishing, I’m a lifelong fan of technology, martial arts, sports, chess, and photography.
