Biography

Hello! I’m Reynante Avila, also known as Ya’qub, and I’m open to full-time opportunities. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, with a focus on web design, development, hardware, software, and databases.

Growing up in the Philippines, I’ve always had a curiosity for technology and problem-solving. I developed an early interest in IT, which eventually led me to pursue a degree in Information Technology. However, in 2008, when the company I worked for shut down and job opportunities in IT were scarce, Since I needed stable employment, so I made the bold decision to transition into office management. This was a pivotal moment in my life, as it opened the door to a new career path.

Over the past 14 years, I’ve built a successful career primarily in the oil and gas sector, working with renowned companies like Saudi Aramco. Nearly 8 of those years were spent as an Administrative Assistant and IT, where I was fully responsible for overseeing the entire department's operations—such as managing complex schedules, handling travel arrangements, and ensuring smooth office operations. While my career took a different direction than originally planned, I found great satisfaction in helping teams and executives succeed, and this experience has shaped who I am today.

I have always maintained a passion for technology, and I continue to stay connected to my IT roots. I am proficient in Microsoft Excel, web design, and various software tools such as Wix.com, and I enjoy the creative process of website development. This blend of administrative work and technical expertise allows me to offer a unique perspective and skill set.

I’m tech-savvy and proficient in tools like Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint), SAP, Google Workspace, SharePoint, Canva, OneDrive, Zoom, Cisco, Adobe Creative Suite (including PDF editing, Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoCAD, Audacity), PowerDirector, ChatGPT, and WIX. I’m constantly learning and adapting to new technologies, and my goal is always to improve efficiency and streamline processes.

Throughout my career, I’ve received numerous appreciation certificates and have worked on several independent software projects, which have deepened my understanding of both the tech and administrative sides of business. I’m fluent in English, a native speaker of Tagalog, and have professional proficiency in Arabic.

When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring new technologies, learning about different cultures, and engaging in activities that expand my knowledge and creativity. Currently based in the Czech Republic, I’m seeking new challenges and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
