Hi, I'm currently looking for an opportunity in the Washington, D.C. area for a systems design and administration role. I have system hardening and network design experience as well as data center management experience. I've been the lead systems security consultant at my last two positions and volunteered the same at my third former employer. I'm available immediately for employment and feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone (listed below) if you have an opening. My OS of choice (and mastery) is FreeBSD but I've had experience in Linux and Solaris (Sun) as well. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from some of you soon. Sincerely, David A.
