SUMMARY:

• Hello and thank you for providing me the opportunity to grow while providing excellent service to your company. I am a strong innovator who has worked with teams of people across multiple disciplines to bring products to market. I have also brought my own products from the idea phase to production and have started my own corporation to satisfy the market needs that have been presented to me.
• I have a strong drive to understand the why and how of things which has led me to reverse engineer multiple networking protocols, as well as embedded devices. I will be the first one to research why something happens a certain way, going deep into physics and engineering concepts to understand the root causes. My own home lab is built with a variety of hardware to allow me to learn concepts in detail, such as IDS/IPS, HA Failover setup and HA Cluster setups. I have the ability to modify the hardware/software configurations as necessary to regularly learn new concepts and explore new dimensions of iT infrastructure.
• I have experience programming in multiple languages (Python, HTML, CSS, Java - script, shell scripting, etc...) and have used them all in production environments where all different languages interact with each other. I can and have build, maintained, and manage Linux and Windows servers from the ground up, and am extremely comfortable with security concepts and hardening.
• My ultimate goal is to become a professional white hat hacker, a position with a degree of understanding that fits in line with my drive, as well as my passion for continual learning and honesty.
• If you're looking for a candidate that can perform, will learn fast, and doesn't just look good on paper, I believe I would be a great benefit to your organization. iT, Engineering and Technical Manager, System Administrator and Network Engineer
• I am an accomplished iT Professional and Eagle Scout with proven leadership and project management skills. I am a highly efficient and documentation oriented worker that can find solutions to any problem with a reasonable OR unreasonable budget. As a goal oriented individual, I have never let a problem overcome my drive to find a solution within a reasonable time frame. I am a self-driven learner with knowledge that spans all aspects of the Information Technology field, this allows me to quickly adapt to new projects and requirements and allows me to switch disciplines and programming languages as necessary to find the perfect solution for any problem. In my quest to become a professional ethical hacker, I can offer a superb plethora of skillsets to complement an existing workforce or work together with management to create the workforce they require to complete their mission.
