Hello there!  I”m glad you dropped by here and took the effort and liberty of reading this. I am my own writer and editor so expect some grammatical and spelling errors to come.

The author Faust Haeja Crismel S. Principe was born on November 11, 1977 in Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines, a son of a doctor and nurse. As far I remember during the years 1987 and above I love to play a family computer, it was a piece of gaming console with a red rectangular joystick side finish with a white body case, the cartridge in which the gaming software stored was a bit bigger or somewhat similar to a cassette tape. I got hooked to it – it was the first family computer by Nintendo – I still remember playing Rambo, Contra Force, Arkanoid, and the all time Super Mario 1,2,3, and still played until today.

By 1991 I migrated to Davao City to pursue my studies, from there I got a glimpse of an actual computer which my parents bought. The computer system then was a x486 DX architecture with no math-coprocessor, with 1024 mb internal memory, black monochrome crt screen.  I’ve loaded a lot of computer DOS based games and my all time favorite was Wings of Fury, Prince of Persia, Carmen San Diego, Lemmings, Sango Fighters, on top of it was Windows 3.1 and among others.  I also wrote some computer programs in turbo basic, pascal, and a little study of assembly or machine language, acquired, learned from schooling and reading.

The logic and the crunching of numbers were sheer in size and caused me some buffer overflow and therefore was prone to crashes, I shifted into teaching education, that was my noble calling. 

In 2001, I graduated as a Professional Teacher for Secondary Education and a few months after acquired a teaching license. Soon after I landed a job as a Computer Layout Artist for a Hotel, I was in-charge of making graphic layouts and illustrations for a local newspaper advertisements.

2002, I was invited by City Government of Davao for work for them, then I was assigned at the Planning Section of the Department of Education, Division of Davao City. My tasked there was to do data entry jobs for educational statistics, like ie; enrolment data, performance indicators, etc. serving as the basic education information system.

2003, the Information Technology or Management Information System Officer-In-Charge position was vacant, the Schools Division Superintendent back then was Gloria P. Labor, Ed. D. tasked me to take over and oversee the technology needs of the division, from there I learned how to manage servers, ie; develop a website, firewalls, url/content filtering, checking network health, attending to users queries and performing coma inducing technical support.

June 2008, I was reassigned, redeployed to Manuel Roxas Elementary School and later on developed and managed their website.

My blog GeekyFaust.info will be sharing my experiences, insights and tips on technology it’s ups and downs.
