Meet the Team - Roy Ampoloquio
Grain Data Collector
Some people ease into change. Roy Ampoloquio welcomes it.
With years of grain grading experience and a Level 3 certification, Roy brings deep knowledge to a field that’s rapidly evolving. When he first heard about Ground Truth Ag, he wasn’t sure what to expect. But once he learned more about the work, the people, and the vision, he knew it was something he wanted to be part of.
“I was curious and excited,” Roy says. “Once I understood how my background could help, it felt like the right step.”
What He Does
As a Grain Data Collector, Roy plays an important role in building out our AI training data. He focuses on annotation and grade identification, drawing on his firsthand experience to support the development of accurate, consistent models.
But what makes Roy such a valuable teammate goes beyond his day-to-day tasks. He’s a trusted mentor and knowledge source for the team, often guiding newer colleagues who don’t come from a traditional grain grading background.
“I like helping others learn,” he says. “If I can share what I know and help the team grow, that’s meaningful to me.”
What He Enjoys Most
For Roy, the best part of his role is the opportunity to pass along what he’s learned and be part of a team that’s building something new.
“I love being available when someone has a question,” he says. “And I enjoy the annotation side too. It’s a good feeling to know you’re contributing in different ways.”
Outside the Office
Away from work, Roy stays busy with his family. Weekends are for basketball, road trips, and quality time with his kids. Their most recent adventure was a trip to Orlando, where they visited Disney World. Next on the list is a return to the Philippines and a stop in Japan.
One Thing You Might Not Know
Roy is known on the team for his grading experience and his thoughtful leadership. But outside of work, he’s also a collector of shoes.
We’re lucky to have Roy helping shape the future of grain grading at Ground Truth Ag.
