Profile
Ben Diaz is a Filipino Solution Architect, Technical Trainer, Webmaster with extensive experience in SEO, BPO, Call Center, Energy, Hospitality, Logistics and Manufacturing industries.
He’s been working as an Information Technology Executive, Project Manager, IT Trainer, Web Developer, Graphic Artist, Technical Support, CRM Support, Computer Programmer and Computer Technician to say the least; progressing from one role to another, keeping a learner’s mindset that there will always be something new and good to learn about — never leaving an unresolved issue behind.
He started working as a Computer Technician/Programmer in the 90′s, the era where MS-DOS is the hippest thing to exist in the computer world and almost everyone wants to learn COBOL programming to get the edge in the industry. Although he has learned that language, other than mastered DOS with its loops and troops, he did not focus on it but instead researched and studied what the future is holding for the computer users and wannabes — the dawn of the net was a promise, dial-up connection was really superb in getting you to travel through the web and surfers are so thirsty for speed.
He created his first website in 1996, with pure HTML3.2 as the latest in Web Programming where he fancied Javascripting as the best thing for interactivity and Notepad as the most common tool for the job. (Stop counting the years now; yes, he always looks younger than his age). As he anticipated, Javascripting has evolved so much to bringing DHTML and AJAX; then soon to a more and more interactive OOP.
To date, he has developed at least a hundred websites, has taught at least ten thousand people about computer hardware, software, technologies and the internet; and will continue to do so until everyone understands what these machines are truly capable of — becoming the primary tool to communicate our thoughts and express our deepest gratitude towards life and the technologies that we have today and will be having in the near future.

“Ben Diaz never competes against anyone — he is just born to become an instrument in making us realize our fallacies.” — A realization of Ben Diaz’s mentor in college.
“It is surprising to know where he came from. Seeing him jumped into the bandwagon of the elites then mingle with the less fortunate ones after a few minutes like there’s nothing to worry at all.” |
| “He holds the highest degree of admiration from me and the rest of the people he shared his years as a Project Manager / Webmaster, a humble leader and friend from the office. I hate to see him go but I know he has to fan out a few more thinkers and bosses by his most outstanding principles.” — Excerpt from the speech of a former manager.
“When he is silent, don’t bother him. He is just spending time with his own school of thoughts, trying to figure out how to rebuke you for whatever faux pas you have committed against the world around you.” — A religious friend sharing his thoughts about Ben Diaz. |
