Marikina, Philippines
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Syson is a founder and software entrepreneur with 11 years building Usbong, a Philippine social business that applies practical automation and knowledge-management systems to uplift healthcare clinics and other community clients. He combines hands-on product development with a research-minded background—MSc in Computer Science and doctoral study—plus teaching experience in Japanese and Chinese language and culture at Ateneo de Manila University. His team’s orthopedic-focused system streamlines accounting, inventory and patient retrieval so clinicians reclaim time for care, while he channels freed capacity into multilingual knowledge-sharing (news aggregation, translations, and short daily language-speaking practice content). A polyglot (JLPT N1, HSK4, DELE A2) who studied in Japan, Michael mixes civic-minded technical work with creative pursuits like game jams and indie multiplayer game design. He’s pragmatic about impact: Usbong’s metric is speed and correctness of services, and the company’s wins include academic awards and national IT certification.
