About Me

My story

Currently the Dean of the School of Computing and Professor 1 at Holy Angel University (Angeles City, Philippines). Former IT Program Chairperson and full-time faculty member of its computing programs, and guest lecturer at the HAU Graduate School, teaching cybersecurity subjects such as ethical hacking and digital forensics.

Extensive experience in application development—desktop, web, and mobile—across multi-platform environments. Served as MIS Director at Systems Plus College Foundation, overseeing day-to-day MIS operations and the school's IT infrastructure. Also lectured at The Future University (Khartoum, Sudan), Baliuag University, and Angeles University Foundation.

I have four children from my first marriage—Mary Abigail, Mary Angel-lyn, Mary-Adelaine, and Albert. I am happily married to my second wife, whom I love so much, JENNIFER E. TAYAG ❤, and together we are blessed with our son, Maverick John.
