    Ambitious GNU/Linux SysAdmin

    Hey all!

    I'm in the market for a job right now.

    I take a special interest in networking concepts as well- routing, VPN's, VoIP. and the like- but I also greatly enjoy sysinternals.

    You can find my resume hosted at http://www.houseoftherisingson.org/~brent/resume.pdf

    If you have any questions, please reply, PM, or e-mail!

    hmm. perhaps a little more background info would help. some of this will be straight from the resume, some will be off the top of my own head.

    let's see.

    I have ~5 years experience. I previously worked with Tektonic (in which I managed CentOS infrastructure, and CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu client servers).

    I have experience in cPanel and Plesk, a little bit of DirectAdmin.

    I can work third shift if desired; I've a rather flexible schedule.

    I've recently relocated to New Orleans, LA, USA but previously was located in eastern PA, USA (on the outskirts of Philadelphia).

    I run an all *nix network at home- the gateways and routers are linux, my laptop and desktop are linux (gentoo), and my roommates each have a macbook pro.

    I strongly believe that running X on a server is a big no-no; i have a pretty intimate relationship with SSH. generally speaking, if you can't do it via the CLI/shell, you can't do it.

    I've done a fair amount of embedded implementation (unfortunately, not much hardware hacking other than a little soldering).

    I've previous experience with telecommuting.

    There's plenty else, but it can be garnered from my resume. I'll post it in here plain-text as a reply if need be.


    Lastly, I like pina coladas and gettin' caught in the rain.
