 2006-08-28

   Currently seeking Unix related work in the greater Atlanta area.
   Contract or Perm.  Especially interested in companies that use Linux or
   BSD. Excellent with open source software. Prefer programming in C, C++,
   and shell. Adept with networking, communications, and technical
   writing.

                                                                   EXPERIENCE

   05-06 to 07-06   Contracting with former employer DirectoryNET (below).

   04-04 to 05-06   Left Atlanta to hike the entire 2200 miles of the
   Appalachian Trail.  Amazingly, completed the trip in October.  I can
   prove it!  Afterwards worked on two personal projects: an ICE design,
   and a fanless low-power PC.

   10-00 to 03-04   Senior Programmer with DirectoryNET LLC. Worked mostly
   in C and shell on AIX and BSD. Finalized their batch system and
   maintained web applications. Helped program back-end systems and build
   XML interfaces to other businesses.

   09-98 to 09-00   A number of short-term contract positions, one of
   which was Maxim Group in early 1999. Automated some office paper tasks
   with scripts and C programs on AIX computers.

   08-96 to 08-98   Integration Analyst with the large HMO Kaiser
   Permanente. Made statistical and synchronization reports on data
   between differing database systems such as Sybase, Comtec, Mumps,
   Magic, Arev, and Cactus. Most of these ran on HPUX. Typically wrote
   applications in shell, awk, SQL and C. Managed new project
   installations on a scheduling program called AutoSys. Maintained and
   ran the company's cost management information batch system for Georgia.
   I came of age here as a Unix engineer.

   07-95 to 05-96   System Engineer at Pipeline Communications.
   Manufactured and maintained SCO and Linux hosts that receive software
   registrations by 1-800 dial-up, ftp, html, email, etc. Also custom
   formatted and encrypted registration data for clients. I gained great
   experience with command line utilities, scripting, and valuable skills
   maintaining Unix servers.

   04-95 to 07-95   Short contract with Equifax EDI. C, awk, shell, SCO
   installation.  It was simple, and short term work, but I am grateful to
   have gained experience in the culture and organization of a large
   company.

   12-93 to 04-95   JHK & Associates, Programmer / Analyst.  Maintained,
   enhanced, and ported a widely used traffic control system.  It was
   written on DEC VAX in C, DCL, and Fortran, and is probably still in
   use.  Enhanced and debugged live systems that control traffic lights in
   cities around the country.

                                                                    EDUCATION

   Sybase Fasttrack and Sybase Open Client/Server courses, one week each.
   Two OOA/D classes: one featuring Object Analyst, the other UML and
   Rational Rose.
   Bachelor in Computer Engineering from University of Florida, 08-1993.
   Valedictorian of East Bay High School, Gibsonton, FL, 1987.

                                                                     COMPUTER

   Good with network services like WWW, FTP, PPP, Mail, Netbeui (SMB) on
   Unix platforms (especially Linux). Can manufacture custom firewall
   routers and software raid systems on ordinary PC hardware. Call me if
   you must have a Unix Guru.
