Objective

I'm seeking opportunities to use my experience and knowledge in specific technology niches such as Linux and FreeBSD system administration, website development, internet marketing and search engine optimization, and computer and network security. I'd like to work with government, educational, or non-profit organizations with noble aspirations to help improve the conditions of our society. In the event that I'm not able to work under such conditions, I prefer as much exposure to free software and open standards as is possible.
