Hello! I'm Jon, a Filipino Full Stack software developer based in Sydney, Australia, with over a decade of diversified experience in Banking, Financial Services, and Telecommunications industries. I've been recognized as an AWS Community Builder and hold 10 AWS Certifications.

I have published various training materials for cloud computing such as AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 Practice Tests, AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 , AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02, DEA-C01, MLA-C01, AIF-C01 and many more.

When I'm not in front of the screen, I like to play the piano and guitar but my greatest passion is teaching, as I believe that quality education is the greatest equalizer. Coming from my humble beginnings in the Philippines, I know how hard life can be if you don't have the technical knowledge and skill set needed to have a well-paying job. I am not ashamed to publicly tell you that I was born in the slums of Metro Manila and I didn't excel in my studies. Growing up, we were selling rice, canned goods, poultry supplies and other stuff in our small variety store (also called 'sari-sari' store in Filipino).

But with hard work, determination and unrelenting persistence, I was able to turn my life around and help my family in return. So aside from the technical knowledge that you may learn from my course, I also promote having these life values. Even though I failed so much before in life, I DID NOT QUIT and persisted to further improve my skills and myself too. I was able to work as an IT Professional for almost 4 years in Manila and 3 years in Singapore before migrating here in Australia on my own. The salary that I earned from my IT career is truly life-changing and this is what I want you to have as well!

I am passionate at what I do and I dedicate a lot of my time creating educational courses while juggling a full-time job here in Sydney. I had given IT seminars to different universities and conferences in the Philippines for free and have launched various educational websites as well, using my own money - without any external funding. 

Having said all of this, I invite you to check out my courses here in Udemy and kindly let me know how I can further improve my products. Your constructive feedback is a powerful tool not just to help me, but to also help other people who may have been struggling to learn the subject matter.
