I am seeking a network security contracting postion in the NE Illinois/Chicagoland area, which focuses on firewall, VPN, network architecture reviews, OS hardening, and overal LAN perimeter security.
Below is my most current resume, with experience going back to 1984. My most current work for the last year and a half has been in network security, performing firewall installation and support for a Managed Security Services group of a large co-location vendor, which supports over 1500 firewalls for it's international customer base. This includes Solaris and Nokia CheckPoint, PIX, Raptor, and Cyberguard.
Also attached to my resume is work history prior to Exodus' acquisition of Cohesive Technology Solutions, where I worked as a Senior Staff Consultant for Cohesive. This better reflects the type of consulting and integration work that I had been performing as a systems engineer from 1995 - 2000.
Thank you for taking the time to review my information.
Regards,
John M. Modransky
