Hi Reader,

Welcome to my personal blog. The TechRONnati. I am an IT professional working as a full-time analyst/programmer for a Multinational bank in Manila, Philippines and a freelance writer.

My real name is Ron Paul. They used to call me Ron for short. An IT Specialist by profession, I moved into this blogging world as a way to release the stressful world of IT. =) So basically this blog serves as my outlet and expressions of my personal rants, and thoughtful views about topics relating to science, and technologies, entertainment, media, business and academics, money matters, travelling, internet, computers, gadgets arising amidst our society today. Acting as an Information Catalyst, my goal is to be able to share and collaborate to as many people as possible about ideas relating to society and technologies as a whole but more on my personal notes. So this would basically serve as my online notebook.

I am graduate from a prestigious school in Manila, holding a Bachelors Degree in Mathematics and Computer Applications. Been actively in the IT field for like 6-7 years now and is actively involved in designing, programming, systems development, support and maintenance of large various enterprise applications. I have a diverse experience mostly in the banking sector. I am currently holding an IBM Certified for Lotus Software Certificate and am currently working on my certification in Oracle - as DBA role, expanding more experience in Cognos (**BI, Datawarehousing) and Java technologies. I am knowledgeable in Microsoft products also, from VB, to SQL Server and C++. I am so into web technologies using Javascript, XML, CSS, HTML, DHTML and learning PHP, AJAX, and MYSQL as i go along.

Being in the IT World, sometimes i can’t help but think about the future. With so many ideas each person has to share and contribute, one may find it tiring because of too many projects, some people may find it interesting too because it seems that the world is getting smaller after all and others would find it challenging. But as for me, generally speaking, I think IT as challenging but in addition enjoying!

In the Information age, one must be flexible enough to be able to learn and grow with the current trends. I’ve been in this field for several years now but it seems to me that i am just getting started. I learn a lot of different technologies every now and then, that sometimes pausing for a while is worth your time to recharge but the problem is the next time you’re at it, new ones are on the trail leaving you half-wasted and hence you probably got lost on track. But thanks to this blogging, at least i can unleash myself for a moment. =)

Best Regards,

Ron
