I worked for almost 5 years in Philippine Associated Smelting and Refining Corporation in Leyte, starting as a technical support engineer, and later as a systems support specialist cum apps/database developer. It was there that I gained exposure in systems design, Visual Basic, and Oracle.
I transferred to Lexmark Research and Development Corporation in Cebu working as a database developer, and as a database analyst for four and a half years. My work involved development of web applications that run on either Oracle or SQL Server databases, with an
ASP.Net C# and ExtJs front end in a team setting. This has allowed me to improve my skills in Oracle, SQL Server, C#, HTML, and JavaScript.
From 2012 until May 2015, I worked as a software engineer for Tieto Global Oy - Cebu, responsible for our client's platform development. I learned Ruby, VMware (vSphere 5.5 - vCSA, ESXi, and VDP and automation using vSphere APIs), Linux, shell scripting, Java, and a bit of OpenStack.
I returned to Lexmark on 2016, handling devops, data engineering, and automation work where my SQL, Python, and Linux skills are put to use building databases, APIs, test scripts. Fortunate to experience full-stack web development (MySQL, Laravel, Vue) as I occasionally deliver internal data-driven tools, and dip my toes in AI-enhanced tools (text to sql assistant using ollama + Mistral + sentence transformers).
