Introducing: Marc Robinsone Nicholas Caballero

These days, it's a rare occasion to come across someone that shows any genuine passion for personal and cultural values. It's an even rarer occasion that this person happens to be a developer willing to work for a startup with no funding and no big-name supporters.

But then again, Marc Robinsone Nicholas Caballero isn't your typical developer–he's a humanist, an eminent pedagogue, and a courageous supporter of free and open source software. It would be a massive understatement to say that we're excited to have Marc on our team.

Marc joins ONE-EARTH.com at a critical juncture. After several months of literally searching all over the world for potential developers to fill this position, we're confident we found the right person. Under our guidance, Marc will help take the site into beta stage; a task that we believe only Marc is capable of carrying out because of his unique education, skill set, and undeterred passion.

Marc is proud to declare his home in the metropolis of Makati–the Philippine's business district. He was born and raised in Baliuag, a first-class municipality in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Asia Pacific College in 2007, he had the opportunity to follow many of his colleagues and classmates overseas to Japan, Korea, Dubai, London, or the US to pursue a financially better career. But Marc had other plans. Instead of leaving the Philippines, he chose to stay and has since become a role model for his generation, inspiring many to believe that there is hope in a better future at "home."

When he's not balancing multiple jobs in Information Technology (IT) and Graphic Design, Marc hosts software workshops and seminars for the youth and elderly to help them adapt to the fast pace of IT (the Philippines is approximately five years behind the US).

We share Marc's passion and beliefs. We're very happy to welcome him to our team.
