I am a Linux and Mac OS X geek who can also survive on Windows environments if needed. I’ve been primarily doing web development but I do not fear doing server administration, desktop software development and whatever is necessary to get things done.
Worked as a Software Specialist in a small team within IBM.
Eskwela and Xackup were both internet startups from the Philippines.
Eskwela was a social network similar to Facebook. It was started when Facebook was still a "private" social network open only to Ivy League students. It could be described as a "Facebook" for the Philippines.
Xackup mainly did backup and syncing applications.
During my employment, I was pretty much an all-around guy, doing development/coding work as well as system administration.
Pusit was a Philippine company that partnered with Friendster. It was responsible for applications such as Friendster MoBS, Friendster Ads, Friendster Flowers, etc
Applied Web Development skills and knowledge, used PHP and Javascript
Applied System Administration skills and knowledge on Linux, BSD and Windows machines
I was still a student, worked as a "Student Assistant" but I was paid to do computer network-related tasks for the department.
GNU/Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS)
I am very comfortable with using a Linux environment. I use Linux for work and I maintain my own servers for my personal domain.
Mac OS X
I am also very comfortable with using Mac OS X and have my own Mac that I have used for several software development tasks.
Windows
I have used Windows for a very long time but I mostly only use this as a development environment when a Linux or Mac environment is not available.
*BSD (FreeBSD, OpenBSD)
I have some experience and knowledge on these operating systems but not as much as I have on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
PHP
I am very comfortable with this language and have used it for numerous programming tasks.
Javascript
I am very much comfortable with using this language, having used it for numerous programming tasks, along with popular Javascript frameworks such as JQuery and Dojo.
Python and Ruby
I have used these languages for system administration and web application development.
Objective-C
I have used this language for developing a Mac OS X desktop application.
Java
I can read and probably still write some basic Java but I have not used this language in quite a long time.
Perl
I only have basic knowledge regarding this programming language and have occasionally used it for scripts and web development.
BS Computer Science from the University of the Philippines, Diliman
