I will be relocating to the So. Cal. region in the next week, and will be looking for work. I am a Unix admin with almost 5 years experience with FreeBSD and Solaris (2.6 - 2.8), as well as some Linux. Previously, my speciality is Information Security, but will be looking for any Unix system work. Along with this I usual programming skills (C, Perl, shell, etc) required for systems administration work. Furthermore I have experience with both small and large scale networks and network services including DNS (Bind, djbdns), NFS, NIS, SMTP (Sendmail, Qmail, Exim), Apache web server. I also have some web development skills, mainly PHP, that I am keen to expand and work on in the future. Unfortunately my works are all properties of the companies I have worked for but I would be happy to show them privately to potential employers. If anyone requires a Unix sysadmin for work in the immediate future, either Contract or Permanent, please feel free to email me at any time. I do not require any relocation assistance and would be happy to move around. My resume is attached below.
