Hello
I'm writing this to introduce myself and announce that I'm looking to
relocate to either California, Colorado, or the Washington
DC/Virginia/Maryland area.
>From 1991 to 1999, I was enlisted in the US Army MOS 98G with Russian
Language. I have consistently scored a 3/3 on the DLPT, and have a very
strong background in SIGINT, including time at Bad Aibling Station.
Additionally, I have very superior IT skills, having served as a Unix
system and network administrator since 1996. This has given me a wide
variety of experiences in the field. From 2000 to 2001, I was employed
as the CTO for a web startup specializing in E-commerce.
I can work in the following capacities:
Intelligence Analyst
Order of Battle Specialist
Linguist
Unix System Administrator
Network Administrator
Network Security Specialist
Researcher
Webmaster
Web Applications Developer
Trainer
I formerly have held a TS/SCI clearance, but it was downgraded when I
left active duty in 1999. I have a completed SF86 ready to submit if
needed.
Please find my resume below. Feel free to call me anytime at
(541)730-1932.
Thanks
--Mike
