Hi there, I am seeking research and career opportunities in the field of computer/network/information security. I bring along a few years of academic research and an intense focus in this area. Key areas that I am skilled and interested in include network/protocol /OS penetration testing, intrusion detection, firewalling, system/network administration, secure-application development/programming, securing network stacks, and data mining. I am available for work for a full-time/co-op position from May 2002. A F1-EAD status allows me to work for a year, though I would prefer a H1B sponsorship. I do not qualify for a TS/SCI security clearance. My resume can be found at - http://hickory.csc.ncsu.edu/security/ http://resumes.dice.com/vamahadi (also attached to this mail) Do get in touch if this profile interests you. Thanks, Vinay. -- Vinay A. Mahadik 2520 Avent Ferry Road Apt 102 Raleigh, NC 27606 http://hickory.csc.ncsu.edu/security Vinay A. Mahadik 2520 Avent Ferry Road, Apt 102 Raleigh, NC 27606.
