I studied 'Mechatronics' at the 'University of Applied Sciences' in Kaiserslautern, Germany. During the first two terms my interest in Programming/Informatics/IT roused. If finished my studies in Sep 2004 but received my final certificate in Jan 2005. | My course is about automation or Mechatronics, It involve, PLC, Pneumatics/Electro-pneumatics,Industrial Electronics,Proximity Sensors, PIC programming(using Assembly Language) etc. During my studies year 2005 I did my OJT in LEXMARK RESEARCH and DEVELOPMENT and was assigned in Infra-Structure Support Department.There I started to Learn Linux.I tried all the common flavor(RedHat,Fedora Core,Debian, OpenSuse, Ubuntu)in 9 months time. |

In March (of the same year) I started working for RUETZ TECHNOLOGIES GmbH in Munich, Germany. For RUETZ I worked as a consultant at BMW Group in Munich. The department I was working for is named 'Passive Safety Electronics' and I took part in the development of airbag control units. To be more specific: I was testing the software running on the control units mentioned above. In the beginning I did this work manually but after a few month I joined a team which members were concerned with automating these tests. That was the time when I got to know the Python programming language. I stayed with RUETZ for three and a half years - did most of the programming in Python and VBA during that time. What I missed very much was a mentor who would review my code, pointing out all the mistakes I made and how to do things right. One who would have turned my attention towards the popular design concepts earlier. | After my graduated last May 2006, I worked in Bigfoot Entertainment Philippines. There I provide Level 3 technical support under IT Department.During my time in Bigfoot I used Ubuntu as my primary OS.It made me feel how good is open source is, I get a lot of support, and everything I need I get for free. |

After three years doing the same kind of work I decided it was time for a change and started to apply for a new job. I found a new company and was hired as a 'Software Developer Robotics'. I began working on Okt 2008 and had to leave on Apr 2009 because the department I worked for was hit by the (worldwide?!) economic crisis. I didn't find a new employment since then. | July 2008 I left Bigfoot and started to work in CallAssistant Communication Center(a BPO company cebu philippines) as Systems Engineer until present.I setup the company server/network needs from scratch and use ubuntu in my servers. |

After taking a deep breath I thought it would be a good idea to gather some knowledge in the field of software development. Learning the theory of 'Design Patterns' was a revelation (special thanks to the 'Gang of Four' at this point). Learning theory and applying for a new job still leaves at least one hour per day to work on some code respectively joining the 'OpenSource Community' and taking part in the development of ubuntu. = My Ubuntu Story = I was a pure 'openSUSE' user for more than four years and didn't care to much about all the other distributions. Two years ago I took the first glimpse on ubuntu. After 'KNOPPIX' it was the second distribution I explored via a live CD. After overhearing some colleagues talking about ubuntu and how much they like it I installed it for the first time and was astonished how easy the installation procedure was (compared to openSUSE). I updated openSUSE a couple of weeks ago and tried hard to like KDE 4.1.x. To be honest: It didn't work out, because KDE doesn't work as it should (a point of view at least some people in the fora share with me). Learning that a lot of the new features of KDE 4.1.x already running quiet well and stable on kubuntu didn't bring things in line and I decided to part from openSUSE. Yes! (As all the other people before me) I want to contribute to Ubuntu and its community as a developer. I want to be assigned to a project I am really going to devote myself to. |
I want to contribute to Ubuntu and its community as a member of MOTU and hopefully I will be a core-devel in the future. My programming skills is low because I dont where to start, but I hope after joining the MOTU team I could get an idea. |
