I’ll cut ‘em off at the Pass!

… Is a phrase I’ve always wanted to yell while driving on the wrong side of the freeway, with a navigator pointing and shooting at some bad guys. But (un)fortunately, as a software developer those risky situations are far too rare.

What’s up internet, I’m Robbie dela Victoria, one of the newest members to be added to the Exsilio development team.  I’ve been an nerd/geek ever since I could remember, one of the first DOS/PC games to get me excited about computers was small strategy game called ‘humans’ circa 1992. I actually found a link on YouTube of someone playing the game. (Wow that brings back memories of boot disks and command prompts. haha) 

Growing up, I was always intrigued by hackers. One of the most famous ones I can remember reading about was Kevin Mitnick, and reading 2600 magazines to learn about phreaking (phone hacking).

Fast forward some odd years and I started my first consulting company, directed towards small business, managing networks, troubleshooting computers, and installing new windows based servers. Slowly as the internet started to explode with potential, I started to find myself learning more and more about web development and creating websites. Fast forward even further and here I am, surrounded by developers and Über geeks alike. 

As far as the alphabet soup of skills, here is a quick breakdown of some of my skills in as many acronyms I can think of in 30 seconds....

READY, SET, And GO!

C#, ASP.NET 3.5, ASP.NET 4.0, LINQ-To-SQL, MSSQL, MySQL, PHP, (x)HTML, XML,  PCI DSS,  Azure blobs, Azure queues, Azure SQL, Silverlight, RIA Services, WCF, XAML, jQuery.... and that’s all my time. 

Happy (Web) Surfing!
