Hi, I'm John Paul Rufo aka Phonfo -
3D Designer | Developer | AI Enthusiast.

A bit of story telling, after finishing high school I worked on construction sites and eventually became a mason. Hungry to learn more, I moved into the digital world—building websites, managing online communities, and keeping servers running smoothly.

After that, I joined CONCENTRIX as a Tech Support Representative, where I helped customers troubleshoot Android devices. I then spent time at Transworld Systems Inc. (TSI) as a Collections Specialist, honing my communication and problem‑solving skills.

More recently, I’ve blended my love for design and tech by creating custom workflows for image and video generation—streamlining creative tasks with tools like Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI. I also craft and texture 3D assets in Blender, then bring them to life in Godot and Unity.
