My Background

Having graduated from 2 BCIT programs with distinction, I now focus on content creation and e-learning via YouTube. Today we have YouTube, AI, and frameworks like React and node.js. You too can dip your feet into these technologies and discover what can be done. Starting from the basics, I’ll take you step-by-step through examples, helping you build the skills needed to succeed. After I graduated from BCIT's first program, I started ARC Web Design. One thing that I learnt is that I should have had an accountant; running a business is not always straightforward. In 2015, I made a decion to seek work at SAP.

Whether it is building responsive portfolios, automating tasks with AI or creating interactive web applications, I’ve spent years navigating the evolving technical landscape (hardware & software), and want to simplify that for you. Having started in electronics in November 1986, I eventually veered away from the 2nd electonics program in August 1989, to enter yet another program: Computer Infomation Systems. As a result, I only finished the Open Learning Agency program, prolonging it until Jauary 1993. The other program was an electonics specialty program that also covered software training.

Pandemic Detour

When the pandemic struck in April 2020, both me and my wife were jobless. Reaching out to Filipinos in our community, we delivered food that was cooked in our home; deliveries often had to be delivered by bus as we did did not buy our car until August 2021. At the time, I started teaching again, but applying my Provincial Instructor skills in the classroom was not working out as well as expected. (The last time I taught in the classroom was in 2008.) By April 2021, my wife got me a job at Mott 32 as a Culinary Steward. Since April, I have been using AI to plan the launch of my YouTube channel, where instruction will be provided online.

A lot has changed since April 2021. I have since returned to my roots in music composition and web design/development, as well as overseas travel. (I first lived in Japan from 2000 - 2002.) This includes an interest in jazz composition and Beatles compositions. As listed on this site's homepage, they are part of my BCIT portfolio (2011 - 2015) that I completed prior to joining SAP in 2016. I was with them until November 2017. Determined to improve my web design/development skills, by September 2018, I was enrolled in Applied Web Development. The program extended upon my training in Web Technologies.
