In my last semester at Purdue, I singlehandedly wrote
a VPN alternative tailored to wireless networks which
provides strong authentication and encryption -- in
800 lines of portable C code. Now I've graduated and
I'm looking to put the skills I've developed in my
college career as well as 4+ years of diverse
experience to use in the security industry.
The ideal job is light on buzzwords and heavy on real
development; solving new and interesting problems, not
using 'solutions' which solve nothing. I want to drive
the next market trend, not follow it. Whether you are
a startup, a Fortune 500 or anywhere in between, I am
ready to take on whatever development challenges your
business has to offer. Relocation is not a problem,
travel is great, and I'm available immediately.
Call or email me to see how I can put my talents to
use for you!
