administration.

-
1976-1979: Eastern Oregon State College, Physics major
1980-1981: Oregon State University, BS Computer Science
- Skills:
-
Unix system administrator, with 30+ years of experience and
over 20 years of network administration, including IPv6, DNSSEC,
low-level network monitoring, firewalls, cisco, juniper and mikrotik
configuration. Primary Unix platform recently has been CentOS,
but with significant FreeBSD and some Sun Solaris experience.
A jack of all trades across programming, administation and networking.
Primary programming language is currently Perl, with good skills in C and PHP.
Some experience with Javascript, Java, Python and C++.

-
- April 2004 - Present: Senior Systems Engineer, Peak Internet
-
Primary system administrator for ISP with about 40,000 users
Started out as sole administrator, which involved coming up to speed
on openldap and making numerous improvements to the environment.
Current environment is primarily CentOS on VMware ESX (around 100 vms)
against a replicated pair of Netapp fileservers. Notable accomplishments:
implementing IPv6 across the internal network, along with beta testing some
interested customers, and a mailproxy system that provides for transparent migration
of users between mail servers (e.g. during acquisitions) by dynamically routing
connections to the server on which the user's mailbox is currently residing.
Have implemented DNSSEC internally. Currently working on customer control panel
application back ends using perl and some python, regular scripting of various
tasks and managinge network firewalls and troubleshooting.

Multimedia encryption/key management server
In Dec 1999, our group at Intel officially became a separate
company and started development of a multimedia security
product in C++ based on the results of the prototype work.
This product was developed on NT and Solaris simultaneously.
- 1996 - 1999: Software Engineer, Intel
-
RSVP, RTP standards work;
Multimedia encryption/key management server
Worked with cisco, MCI and the IETF on bandwidth reservation
standards and setup a test WAN to experiment with the RSVP
protocol. Also implemented a module in C for the open source
UCD SNMP package to allow it to monitor RTP (Real Time Protocol)
streams. Then worked on server half of a prototype multimedia
encryption system based on a paper on multicast security. This
led to the group separating from Intel to develop products in
this area of Digital Rights Management.
- 1994 - 1996: Software Engineer, Intel
-
Webmaster
Created Intel's first public web site. From there, went on
to benchmark and performance tune the web server as well as
updating the site and working with other groups at Intel to
promote its use and obtain additional content. The webserver
was a BSD/OS system, with benchmarking including Sun, SGI and
AIX machines, as well as NT.

-
Unix/Network administrator
3 of us formed an IT group for a new multimedia organization.
I was responsible for much of the networking, especially moving

Bitbus factory control network firmware, tools, applications
and software evaluation.
Initial project was a board that linked Multibus microcomputer
systems to IBM mainframes, before moving on to Bitbus tools
evaluation. Wrote internal wave solder machine monitor app
using Bitbus products and a development application/test/demo
program for a "starter kit". Also helped support internal group
Xenix systems.
