Kir Peñalber

Design Engineer

I'm a design engineer based in Manila with 4+ years of experience in product development. I've worked across AI, marketplace platforms, and EdTech products that have helped users earn more than ₱12M.

I'm drawn to knotty intellectual challenges and find myself equally fascinated by long-tail industries, the sciences, and humanities. In my approach to work, I sweat the details and make sense of complexity.
