Remembering the time I first came across a computer which absolutely blew my mind off with how amazing that piece of technology and what it can do of which I wrote my first programming application using MS BASIC language operating on a MS Windows v3.11 OS running at 333Mhz CPU O_o... it was epic! Since then I told myself this is going to be the future (as few believed and most didn't), here it was.

Despite of the willingness to continue learning more, wasn't fortunate enough to pursue proper college. Despite I was a scholar, things didn't worked out right due to peers and hey, I was still young and reckless. But, thru hard times I evolved became a man and realize then that it is time to get serious and so got a chance to continue school on computer programming. With COBOL (old-school mid-level) and a better MS Visual Basic languages running on a much faster computers I enhanced more my knowledge on this young but promising technology with a GPA of 92.0/100 at STI-Malolos. Graduated and tried things out on the field knowing that there are more than meets the eye, got a chance to experience in's and out's of the computer, not just by writing codes on it but on how to build and maintain one. More and more years came, I learned a lot writing Windows desktop applications both in-house and project-base local and offshore.

Enter world wide web, another incredible piece of technology (knowing that it was first used and tested in military) is another future that I wanted to be part of. New era, new application, new languages... HTML, Javascripts, CSS and MS Visual Basic.NET I grab knowledge with. Just like knowing how a computer works, I found out how WWW/NET should be built and maintained, a set of servers, hosts both local and remote with a much more high-tech specifications of CPUs, Memory's, and Disks. Sure it won't stop! New bread of languages (more faster to develop and deploy) like PHP (Pre-hypertext processor), operating systems (more secure and optimized) like Linux, computers and services (more powerful and virtualized) like Amazon Cloud services which of course anything is possible with a High-speed internet bandwidths. We're all connected via Cyberspace, which helps us improve life, and even enjoy life, because of the hardwork, dedication and amazing minds behind the computing ecosystem we achieved a lot. It's the very reason why I wanted to continue computing, as be part of something, somewhere that will build somewhat that will make this world a better place.

I'm a Zend Certified Engineer on PHP web scripting language, passed examination (as part of formality) on August 29th of 2012. With strong knowledge on Functions, Data Formats/Types, Web Features, OOP (Object-oriented programming), Security, I/O, String/Patterns, Databases/SQL, and Arrays. I've been using this for almost a decade now.

Sufficient knowledge on front-end development UX (users-experience) and understanding of interactions between presentations and data. A good front-end can not be achieve without a good back-end development and structures from API's and Databases.

As once an I.T. Director, thus skills for developing, implementing, and supporting information technology as it planned is also my strongest. I'm trustworthy, I'm proactive and have initiative to get the job done base on appropriate working steps. I always think for room of changes as long as required and will benefit. Committed to issues and get it resolve asap. I strongly understand clients and have room for improving service. I have sufficient written communication skill and have always room to improve verbally. I can collaborate firmly with other teams. I'm willing to work hard even harder to find solutions and even if it will take longer working days and nights (if you enjoy working a lot, you'll not notice you haven't slept for days). I wanted to succeed. All of these thus far adding leadership as my one of my best skill.

On a more global source that can be targeted nowadays, embracing enterprise architecture and analytics is a key skill, thus I'm still improving it more as the time goes by and I believe that there are always have room for learning and how you can use it as a tool to help you achieve a goal.
