I have expert level skill in UNIX and Linux operating systems. I have
earned many vendor certifications usually by just sitting the exam. I enjoy
the trust and loyalty of my many consulting clients by constantly
delivering quality results, on time and under budget. I am also an expert C
programmer. I have delivered two commercially successful programming
projects (for sale) and have worked on many company internal projects. I
have:

computer knowledge before three different courts of law.

Practiced and refined my UNIX skills continuously since 1981!
-
Worked on UNIX systems from all major manufacturers including SUN, HP, IBM,

Helped clients save money by helping them migrate off of expensive
platforms (proprietary UNIX and Windows) onto Linux.
-

catastrophies, including publically traded companies.
-
Performed security audits on many systems. In the past, I have helped to
uncover logic bombs, security breaches, back doors and other mis-uses of

-
Helped my clients recover from and repair security issues and helped them harden
their systems.
