Career Profile
Currently working as the Lead Solutions Architect at oOh! Media. After graduating at De La Salle University Dasmarinas (Cavite, Philippines) in 1997, I ventured into Teaching to share my knowledge with the new breed of Computer Scientists. The call of the IT Industry though snatched me away from Teaching in 2000. I climbed the ranks from there on. Started with VB6 and jumped to Java for 15 years before being language-agnostic (Python, Node.JS, Terraform, Cloudformation, YAML) shifting to cloud-based technologies.
