My name is Earljon K. A. Hidalgo, a self-confessed gadget geek is a Software Developer by profession focusing in .NET technologies and a technology hobbyist focusing on anything that spice my interests.
Started my first hands-on experience to computers way back in 1991 when we attended the demo at AMA Learning Center in Sta. Lucia branch (I don’t know if this branch still exists today) of how virus (DOS based) affects our diskettes and how to clean using antivirus. We watched the video, read their materials and allowed us to touch their computers. Back then, I don’t even know how to operate or even run a single command in DOS prompt! A simple dir command was very strange to me as I don’t know where to type that command or what the heck will the output be. But at this moment also, my mind started to wander what the computers will do in the future.
So after graduating from High School, I took up Computer Engineering at Adamson University and little by little my passion for computers grew up. From hardware troubleshooting to software development, I harnessed my skills and share to others what I learned through the years. Sharing and giving tutorials to my friends is one of my strongest point that made me strive even more.
And now, having a 7 years experience in many aspects of computer technologies have given me opportunities to handle medium to large enterprise applications ranging from web-based solutions to SMS messaging applications. This gives me more edge to learn new cool technologies and be able to apply to my existing projects.
As my jouney continues, I have created a blog to document all my experiences to many technologies so that I can be able to go back and read my post if I forgot something. And also about my personal life as a person in general, a father to my pretty and beautiful daughter and a husband to my loving wife. Everything that falls in between these two, I will write it down.
I am living in Cubao, Quezon City, Manila Philippines with my family.
