My Skills

As a Computer Science Student of the University of Southeastern Philippines, I could say that I acquire some of the skills which can positively help, not just myself, but for those who are, somehow, do not something that I know or not capable of doing things which I can probably do.

Some of the skills that I have are the following:
  • Computer Literate - I know how to use computers very well. (and that is so obvious since Computer Science is my course)
Binary Numbers
  • Computer Science Fundamentals - this is the basic skill of most people (in IT industry or even in people who are capable in self-study) nowadays since we are living in a generation where humans' daily lives are incorporated with computers. Computer Science Fundamentals includes basic Input/Output methods in a computer, computer concepts, software and hardware components of a computer, number conversion (binary, decimal, octadecimal, hexadecimal), etc.
Computer Hardware Fundamentals
  • Critical Thinking - this is a very important skill that a "Computer Scientist" should have and I believe I already acquire this kind of skill. To be able to solve a given problem, the programmer should analyze well the required output to be able to think for a best solution.
  • Researcher - for many times, I have been engaged in thorough researching that is why one of my skills is researching beyond what is required. As a researcher, I do not only read what is just required but I read and research even the related studies and researches of a given topic.
  • Programming - this is a very important skill. I have a background on some computer programming languages since we have already used these languages over the years such as C, C++, VB.net, C#, Java.
Programming Languages
  • Networking - we have been thought to configure routers and switches and I could say that how know a little about networking. I was the one who did the configuration on my uncle's router and LAN in their home.

  • Good Communication Skills - I am very confident that I could understand, write and talk using the International language which is English.
  • Website Developer - as part of our OJT, I have been part of a team which were told to refurbish the USeP website. For that experience, I had a background on creating a website using Joomla! Here is the link to USeP website which we have refurbished: http://www.usep.edu.ph/.

  • Technical Author - it is very important that your clients should understand technical information clearly and in a simple manner. It involves interpreting the technology or applications and then designing and writing documentation. This may be in a form of user manuals or user guides.
