Computer programming had been my personal interest since high school. However, I took up Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering during college instead of computer courses because I preferred having an “Engr.” appended to before my name. I was able to do that – after graduation I passed the board exams without any problems.

After graduation I decided to shift back to Information Technology because I was, after all, what I like doing. My first two employed jobs had been into IT jobs that covered teaching IT courses, programming, systems analysis, web design and internet server configuration. However, my last employed job had been into maintenance engineering which is something related to the engineering course I took up during college.

Although I learned and appreciated my last job, my interest is still on programming. I didn’t expect that my next career would be related to IT freelance jobs. My previous plan (if I did have any) was to work out a fulfilling business. Eventually

I realized that freelancing is a business in itself.

I started offering my services in oDesk as a .NET programmer. I realized that PHP programming skills are one of the most sought-after skills in many freelance sites, so I decided to gradually shift my knowledge from .NET to PHP. There are various areas in PHP programming too, but I decided to concentrate on WordPress blogs.

I understand the blog name “The Lady Programmer” gets some people confused – as it assumes that I am well-versed in many languages. I used to have that knowledge in several languages but in freelance I find more success in building a solid experience on a single skill, that is, in PHP and WordPress for as long as there is a market demand for it.

I’m always a student of life – I never stop at learning new things.

My online portfolio is still a work in progress because my work history is chronicled in oDesk and I still have to find time to update it. However, please contact me if you are interested in my services.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog.
