About

Hello from the sunny Philippines! I'm JD. Over the past two decades, I've immersed myself in the realms of sysadmin, networking, and IT consulting. I've established several successful businesses here, extending both technical assistance and strategic consulting to companies across our archipelago – from the bustling hubs of Cebu and Manila to the tranquil beauty of Negros Island.

I take immense pride in crafting top-tier networks and systems, predominantly for ISPs and enterprises across various industries. My approach is holistic: blending hands-on technical work with personalized consulting to ensure my clients always receive the best solutions. Intrigued? Let's connect!

With nearly two decades in technical operations and systems engineering, I've worn multiple hats, from practitioner to mentor. My journey led me to found Immerse Networks Limited in 2016, a Hong Kong venture that's driven by "Attitude. Drive. Loyalty." We offer custom-tailored consulting, support, and training to a diverse, global clientele.

Recognizing the specific needs closer to home, I established ProNetivity Inc. in 2023. Based in the Philippines, our rallying cry is "Building Better Networks, Together." Our mission is laser-focused: empower local ISPs and cable operators by upgrading systems, refining operations, and offering top-tier training.

If you're inspired by a mix of attitude, drive, and loyalty and share the vision of bridging the digital divide, I'd love to collaborate. Also check out my LinkedIn profile.

The NOC team of #RISE at PHNOG Cebu, 2019. Since 2017, I have had the privilege of working with RISE and GetaFIX, and I continue to serve as a senior engineer. My main role involves designing and expanding systems capabilities, which I find both challenging and rewarding.
