About Me

Daniel NgMy name is Daniel Ng and I am from Southwestern Ontario, Canada. I was born and raised in Malaysia, and later immigrated to Canada. I am an experienced .NET programmer and a Geographic Information System (GIS) professional. Furthermore, I have been assuming the role of a System Administrator for IBM Maximo Asset Management System and doing Maximo development work since 2009. I am primarily a slave of both Microsoft and ESRI. I am proficient in many Microsoft products such as SharePoint, SQL Server, InfoPath, Access and etc.

Born and raised in Malaysia. Later immigrated to Canada.I have a diverse technical skill set and I do wear many hats at work. At core, I am a custom solution developer who can basically turn a vision into reality. Over the years, I have acquired the necessary skills to put together a complete solution solely from start to finish and working from front end to back end. My expertise, in general, lies in (a) designing, developing, implementing and supporting new business solutions; (b) customizing existing applications; and (c) integrating enterprise systems.


MaximoThis is my cat Maximo. He is also affectionately referred to as Meowzer or Mimo when he behaves, and Max when he is not, as in "Max! Get down from that tree RIGHT NOW, you little sh#t. Argh... Where did I put my ladder...argh...". Besides sleeping, eating, tree climbing and terrorizing backyard critters, Maximo also enjoys his casual stroll across my laptop and occasionally hitting the power button. Despite his eccentricities, I would not trade him for the world.
