Self-introduction
My nicknames are: cloydieee, cloydieeevan, santino, mestizo, gloid
I like technology and I believe it can help make our daily lives easier. I have a Bachelor's Degree (BSIT) in Information Technology with a Specialization Track in Application Development. I graduated from Mapua University with a Dean's Awardee which I am very grateful and proud of as it was the result of my hardwork, patience, diligence, suffering, and perseverance.
I have always seen myself as an academic achiever hence, it is why I have cultivated my love of learning and studying since pre-school days. Fortunately, this love of learning has bore fruit as I have gathered a lot of academic honors in my junior high school. Moreover, I am also glad that I was able to represent my school, Jocelyn V. Cacas Montessori School Inc., in Bulacan Private Schools Association (BULPRISA) for modelling back in Grade 6 and Declamation 2017 contest back in Grade 10. I also won a Bronze medal in Battle of the Brains Quiz Bee (4th Place) during our provincial events. I am happy that I was able to experience those as it helped me find confidence in presenting myself in an audience. Also, it solidified my self-understanding that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. π
In the field of Software Design and Engineering, I am always captivated by it as I love how we can break down complex problems into smaller pieces and effectively solve them. What resonates with me the most is the fulfillment from meeting project requirements, addressing client needs, and contributing to their success. Yes, it's hard, but it's cool!
I have always loved programming since I learned to design and program my first Arduino IoT project, Smart Garbage Bin 101, a proposed design during my senior high, San Beda University, collaborated with San Beda Robot Society. It was there I found that I have fallen in love with programming and coding. It is because I find it really cool that I can control and program microcontrollers.
Work ethic and self-discipline
I always like to fulfill all tasks virtously - to do it right with the required amount of effort.
Managing stress and cope
I am also passionate about Gregorian, Latin, and Orthodox Chants
I destress by playing video games, watching memes, stealing memes, and watching cat videos. Also I like reading interesting researches with the human behavior and brain.
Most importantly, I release all my pent up emotions π through intense exercise and weightlifting at the gym. πͺπ¦΅βΉοΈββοΈπ€Έπ€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈ
