About

Hey from the sunny Philippines! I’m JD. I am a freedom loving father, engineer, gamer, self-protection advocate, firearms enthusiast, and all things technical and tactical.

I build top-tier ISP and enterprise networks. Together with my team of engineers, we’ve partnered with over 70 operators across APAC, handling everything from design and re/implementation to operations, troubleshooting, and support. My toolbox is extensive, including JUNOS, VyOS, Arista EOS, OcNOS, and MikroTik RouterOS, among others.

I have a true passion for open source projects, automation, and containerization, and I occasionally find myself writing code. I thrive on designing greenfield networks and optimizing existing ones, often achieving results that raise an eyebrow (or two) 😉

Are you passionate about making the internet better? Or need a hand?

In 2016, I started Immerse Networks Limited in Hong Kong with a focus on "Attitude. Drive. Loyalty." We offer personalized consulting, support, and training to clients around the world.
In 2023, I launched ProNetivity Inc. in the Philippines, driven by our motto, "Building Better Networks, Together." We help local ISPs and cable operators upgrade systems, streamline operations, and provide top-notch training.

The NOC team of #RISE at PHNOG Cebu, 2019. Since 2017, I've had the privilege of working with RISE and GetaFIX as a senior engineer, focusing on designing and expanding systems capabilities—work that's both challenging and rewarding.
Working on deployments with John Rideout, a former student and close friend, is always a great experience. He's now an aspiring Network Engineer at ProNetivity Inc.
