Welcome to My Blog Site

The main purpose of this blog site is to keep my notes so I can have ready access to them. The second purpose is to contribute what I can back to the net community.

Some of my career highlights: enrolled in college at the age of fifteen; setup first web site in 1993; PhD degree from UNC Chapel Hill (Biophysics); mentored by Nobel Laureate Harold Varmus (Genechips).

I'm interested in many aspects of IT disciplines with focus on application development, integration and security. I'm fluent in multiple programming languages (C, C#, Java, Php, various scripting languages), databases (Oracle, MS SQL, My SQL), IT securities (smart cards, SSL, certs), system administrations (Windows, Solaris, Linuxes), and applications integrations (Messaging, ESB, SOA). Some of the certifications I have passed over the years include Sun Certified Enterprise Architect (SCEA), Oracle Certified Database Administrator (OCP), Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP), BellId Certified Professional (smart cards). But most of my learnings come from various real world IT projects.

As pass times, I play soccer. I'm currently playing in the Northern Virginal Adult Soccer Association for the team Shangri La. We won the Championship for the 2010 Spring season. I'm also a youth soccer coach. Some teams I coached includeU8B Red Dragons, U8B Yellow Jackets, U9B Blue Ninjas and CYA U9B 2009 All Stars Team. For the 2010 Spring season I'm coaching Team Dark Knights as well as the All Stars Team.
