I am an Electrical Engineer by profession. My involvement with Ubuntu, BSD, GNU/Linux, and free/open source software in general, is purely for fun, hobby, and learning. I have been interested in computers since my childhood and got my hands on one in 1990 during my high school days. Since then, I have continued to self-train myself particularly in programming. With Ubuntu, I felt right at home. I have been wanting to contribute to the open source community and Ubuntu gave me the opportunity. == Quick Links ==

== About Me ==

I am an Electrical Engineer by profession and currently has a full-time job at [http://www.transco.ph TransCo]. Although my line of work is completely out-of-sync ''(for now)'' with my interest in computers, I managed to self-train myself in programming and has been doing some unofficial, in-house development work just to make my job easier and be more efficient.

I came across Ubuntu since the Warty release and has been following it ever since. My first ever participation in Ubuntu is when I tested the the company-owned [wiki:LaptopTestingTeam/CompaqEvoN110 Compaq Evo N110] laptop with Ubuntu, and later learned of fellow [wiki:PhilippineTeam Filipinos] in the community. As of today, I am a member of the following teams:

 * Migration to Ubuntu (BreezyBadger) of two internet and gaming cafes (26 pcs)
 * Migration to Ubuntu ([wiki:EdubuntuWiki Edubuntu]) of my High School Alma Mater Computer Lab (in progress). ''I am also coordinating with their Filipino Department Head Teacher in helping with the Tagalog translation as part of the students school project. Since, I have just finished setting up their LAN and they recently got broadband connection, I'm really excited about this!''


== Looking Forward ==

I feel that Ubuntu has given me a wonderful opportunity to learn about GNU/Linux, Open Source, and about the community that drives it. I want others to feel the same.
