    I'm an experienced information security administrator, network administrator,
    and general UNIX systems administrator[0].  I live and currently consult
    in Silicon Valley, and I'm interested in finding a permanent position
    with a startup or other small company.
    
    The kind of place I'm looking for:
    
    	-Considers security a top priority
    	-Isn't already married to a single vendor for all security
    	 products
    	-Offers a small and dynamic environment where a skilled and
    	 motivated individual can make a difference on a day-to-day
    	 basis
    
    I'm willing to entertain almost any offer, but I'm really interested in
    working for a startup---I've spent the last several months working with
    people organising startups or participating in organising them myself---but
    I'm also interested in any company otherwise meeting the requirements
    above.  The only thing I'm dead set against is working for a large,
    soul-crushing bureaucracy.
    
    In addition to having worked for startups, I've worked for everything
    from universities to large Silicon Valley biotechs.  I'm used to working
    alone, and I've lead teams.  I'm skilled at firewall administration,
    NIDS design and implementation, PKI administration, code review, drafting
    policy, writing functional specifications for security applications, and
    just about any information security related task an organisation might need.
    
    I currently live in the Silicon Valley/San Jose area.  I'm an aggressive
    driver with a couple fast cars, so a commute to the City or East Bay
    isn't really a problem.  I'd consider relocation for a sufficiently
    interesting position.  I'm really interested in a full-time position, but
    I'm currently consulting.
    
    If any employers are interested, the best way to contact me is at
    this email:  spbat_private .  If any other list readers know
    of any startups or suchlike that are hiring, I'd appreciate a pointer.
    And if anyone things I'm insane for continuing to look for startups
    in the current enconomic situation, I'd welcome other suggestions
    satisfying my employer preferences.  Resume available upon request.
    
    Thanks.
