Computer Geek, Jesus FrEAk!

Who am I?

My name is Joshua Ocero, first born of four siblings who hail from a district deep in the Northern part of the country. My father is a Langi from Apac and my mother is a Langi from Atapara. This naturally(or rather culturally) makes me a Langi from Apac! I however grew up in Kampala, where I am currently studying at University.

Ever since I was a little boy, I have always loved to interact with computer systems. I first used a computer way back when I was 10 years old and my love for it has grown ever since then. I am now currently pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science at Makerere University. Computer Science in Uganda though catching up fast, is never a favourite course that parents want their kids to do. My father wanted me to do Engineering or Medicine like him. But I pray that someday he will be proud of seeing a son who surpuses his wildest expectations.

Growing up as a child was never easy for me. I did the early years of my primary education at Nakasero Primary School, one of the oldest schools in the coutry. However, because of family issues, I had to leave Nakasero in my final year and move to St. Kizito Primary School in Northern Uganda. My move to a academically "poorer" school had many suggest that it could have been the cause for my relatively poor performance in the Final exams.
I failed to get my first choice secondary school Kings College Buddo, so I was instead taken to a private school - St. Lawrence Citizens High School, where I spent the next 6 years of my life. At the end of my stay there, I was still not able to get my first choice at the university - Engineering. I was a bit dissapoited because everybody had alot of hope in me doing excellently. But little did they know that God had planned my life all out. I was warmly accepted into Computer Science at FCIT and my academic life has never been the same again.

I finally found a place where my creativity and imagination can be fully exploited, thus explaining my extreme love for programming. Within my three yeara at campus, I have managed to position myself among highly competent computer specialists. I have gained a considerable reputation in both windows and linux troubleshooting, I am a Cisco Certified Network Associate(CSCO11487470), I have admirable programming skills and I am quick to learn whatever technologies appropriate.

From a non professional perspective, I am a God fearing young man who always trys to listen for God's calling in my life (Just like Apache listening for Server requests :-)). I love to make and KEEP friends but above all, I like to listen to them and help out whenever I can. I believe sharing knowledge is the best way we can improve ourselfs as the human race. Two heads are certainly better than one. I am also a committed worker and love to learn new things. I believe God has a plan for each and every one of us, I work hard to share this vision God has for me.
