About Me

A Brief

While back in university I used to participate in hackathons and coding competitions. By doing so I was able to meet professionals from the software industry. It's from them that I learned that I have to learn more than what It's being taught in the university if I am about to be a successful software developer. So I learned much outside of the university curriculum spending every bit of spare time I had. When I joined DFAR (IT division, Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources) for training they asked me to create an inventory system to replace their handwritten ledgers. I was able to create a working system. Finally after many unsuccessful projects this was my first successful venture. After the training, while continuing the studies, I started to give side support for a freelancer. I learned much about freelancing from him. After graduating I worked full time for a few companies until I decided to start working as a freelancer.

I like to talk with clients, understand their businesses and be involved as it is my own. I also enjoy learning new tools and technologies and understand what problems they solve and for what specific use case they are good at. So that I can leverage them as it fits best.
