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.
Kindest regards,
Avleen Vig
