Employers will also benefit by accessing a curated pool of qualified PWD candidates and gaining tools and resources to support inclusive hiring practices.

Key features include:

My Contributions
As the Team Leader and Full Stack Developer, I led the ideation and planning of the THRIVE platform, ensuring the project's alignment with the “Innovation for All” theme of InnoGen. I coordinated the technical development and user experience design, focusing on accessibility, responsiveness, and system architecture. I also managed the team’s task distribution, designed the database structure, and developed both the front-end and back-end functionalities. I ensured that the platform integrates accessibility features for PWDs and complies with Philippine labor laws and inclusive employment standards. My goal was to build a system that not only functions effectively but also genuinely empowers PWDs to thrive in the job market.
Venture Journey Compilation Link
In this project, I was tasked with creating a wireframe for a mental health application without any specific instructions or details provided. Leveraging my background in programming and app development, I conceptualized and designed the entire application from scratch. I took charge of the UI/UX design, ensuring the interface was user-friendly, intuitive, and visually appealing. I incorporated various innovative features that support the app’s purpose of improving students’ mental well-being.

One of the key features I added is an AI chatbot to provide quick mental health support to users. Recognizing the importance of human interaction, I also included an option for users to switch to a human counselor, where they can view counselor availability and consult with them directly. Additionally, I integrated a library of mental health resources where users can read informative articles, access tips, and explore ways to improve their well-being. To enhance the user experience further, I added features such as relaxing music playlists and personalized recommendations for mental health improvement.

I completed this wireframe in a single day due to my familiarity with app development tools, wireframing techniques, and UI/UX design principles. My ability to ideate, structure, and design the entire application—both its features and content—allowed me to deliver a comprehensive and functional wireframe efficiently.
