FOUNDER / WEB DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

HIGANTE WORKS, LTD. CO.

While struggling to find high-paying clients with my freelance work (and seeing
my clients with success from my work!), I decided that my best option would be
to start my own online business. This is where I got started with Magento. I
learned myself to build my first Magento website from online resources,
documentations, and from the Magento forum itself. Without prior experience with
Magento, it was a difficult and exhausting task but it was my only choice since
I did not have any budget to hire a programmer. My first Magento website ended
up generating enough sales that allowed us to acquire several wholesale
customers (and saved me from becoming homeless!) and eventually brought me a
full-time job as a Software Developer. This is the reason why I have a strong
passion for Magento.

FULL-STACK WEB DEVELOPER / E-COMMERCE CONSULTANT

FREELANCE WORK

After closing down my online rental website, I decided to do some freelance
work, helping small businesses with their website from the newly-acquired skills
that I had learned from managing an online business. I offered my services like
basic website designs, Search Engine Optimization, internet marketing and
advertising, including consultations, and other services. Eventually, this is
where I learned about WordPress and got my first exposure with Magento.

FOUNDER

MEGASTAR HOME ENTERTAINMENT (FILIPINOMOVIERENTALS.COM)

Founded a Netflix-type DVD rental website that generated revenues of over
$500,000 with a start-up capital of only $1,500. This is where I got started
with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and eventually with PHP and MySQL. I also learned
internet marketing skills like SEO and search engine advertising like Google
Adwords (and Adsense!) for generating traffic to our website. I also oversaw and
managed the whole website using techniques that lead site visitors to sign up
for our service.
