('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Hello, all. So, I first posted my resume to this board almost exactly a year ago. Since then, the project I moved to has had some financial/contractual trouble, so I'm having to look again. Hence this posting. A bit about me: I work in security not because it's a "hot" field, but because it's fun. I love learning new things, and being challenged to learn constantly (which would explain the 3 Bachelors degrees I have). The security world forces this on me, which I love. I also enjoy playing with technology, and have a fair stable of gear of my own to play with. I have been running my own domain out of my house for the last 2 1/2 years (on a linux running on Mac hardware, for the extra difficulty factor), and have 2 Cisco routers and a 2924 switch in my house, just for fun. (I'm still working on running cat-5e through the house...one more project for later...) While I'm not a huge fan of "crash-and-burn" type ops situations, I can handle them well, since I used to work at NPR running the sound console for All Things Considered. (Having any mistake of yours instantly heard by hundreds of thousands of listeners is pressure that has yet to be matched by anything in security.) Personally, I would like to think that a good security person should be able to avoid many of the "crash-and-burn" scenarios I've seen (planning and prevention are wonderful things), but I know that some are unavoidable, and I can deal with them as needed. Anyway, I'm looking for a job that would be in security (seems obvious, I know, but it's good to be clear), in the Washington DC metro area. I'm presently mostly technical, but I've been moving more into process/procedural security recently, and would be happy to perform either role. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or if you want a version of my resume other than text. Thanks.
