OBJECTIVE To work for a company involved in new technologies, doing Unix System Administration work, and writing code in various languages.
EXPERIENCE
Volaris On-Line - 2/01 - Present Duties: Administer over 70 Ultra Sparc Stations running Solaris 2.5.1 through Solaris 2.8. Administer many mail servers running operating systems such as Redhat Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Irix and running mail systems such as Sendmail, Imail, Intermail, Post.Office, and Qmail. Administering multiple web servers running Apache 1.3.x. Administer the Cluster of Radius Servers which allow all 310,000+ customers to connect to the internet through ISDN, DSL, or Dialup. This includes modifying the structure of the cluster, keeping it maintained, upgrading the machines, adding new Internet Providers. Experience in NavisRadius 3.2, Livingston Radius 2.1, and FreeRadius (All of which are run on the cluster). Light router work for connectivity between the radius cluster and the NAS.
Projects: -Wrote a multi-file fully developed C program that ran Microsoft Sequel calls remotely through iODBC and used blowfish encryption to remotely and automatically delete users off of our radius cluster, mail servers, and ftp/web servers when they had been deactivated for a certain amount of time. -Writing Perl Scripts and Shell scripts to automate tasks such as adding and deleting users, communicating between servers, many forms of text manipulation, and any other various tasks that need to be handled. -Wrote a combination of Perl scripts that the entire company uses to add/modify/suspend/delete users into and out of our system. These scripts are linked to the Billing system and are called automatically when a customer subscribes or unsubscribes to our service. -Integrated all internet providers owned by Volaris into one large database of customers, roamable over the entire Southeast US. -Installing and Configuring Solaris 7/8, Debian Linux, Redhat Linux, and more, for new machines to be added to the radius cluster or for other duties such as credit card billing, or accounting. -Writing CGI Scripts (in perl) for various web pages to monitor/display information about our Radius Cluster, and do various other tasks. -Created a MySQL database to host our new radius cluster, and wrote many programs to interface with the database and the radius servers, such as a C program to authenticate users out of the MySQL database, and a perl program to provision users into and out of the MySQL database. Built the radius cluster using MySQL, Debian Linux, C, and Perl, from the ground up. The new Radius system is much faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain than the original Radius system in place at my time of hire.

Network Technology familiarity
TCP/IP, NFS, HTTP, NETBIOS, NETBEUI, WINS, DHCP, DNS, RRAS, SAPS, DAVE, SAMBA, SMTP Design/Programming Languages and Applications
Fluent C (Unix Environment), C++ concepts, Pascal, Basic, Sh, Csh, and Fluent Bash shell scripting, Fluent Perl, PHP, Gimp, HTML, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop, Flash
EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATIONS
AS in Computer Science in progress -Classes taken in C programming in a Unix Environment
ACCOMPLISHMENTS Implemented a large scale multi-language program for Duro Communications, C and Perl. The C portion of the program makes sequel calls to multiple sequel databases to retrieve customers who have been de-activated in our system for more than X number of days (specified in a parsed configuration file). It grabs all users from all the ISPs, parses the list for bad entries, and makes calls through a specific UDP port on the internet to remote servers which run a Daemon to retrieve the calls, and call a perl script which was also written by me, to delete users off of the specific Unix/Windows system, as well as deleting their home directories and mail spools. All of this is done with 100% sanity and error checking. The system runs flawlessly every night to keep old users off of our system. This was programmed from the ground up on all levels by me, in a short period of time.
Designed a Radius System from the ground up using a MySQL backend and XT Radius. XT Radius calls C++ programs that I wrote from the ground up that interface with the user database in the MySQL server, which I also designed and implemented. The tool to add/remove/suspend/modify users from the MySQL database was also written by me, in C++ and also another tool in perl. The system runs flawlessly but was never put into a full production environment as the company that I wrote it for sold out.
Programmed a console based e-mail client for linux to both send and receive e-mail using standard smtp and pop protocols. Programmed it from the ground up using standard socket functions, for my own personal use.
Successfully programmed and implemented a text based online game from the base code up (in C). Implemented unique features into the game such as AI, ASCII virtual mapping, random map generation, random object spawning, and a unique combat system; Deployed the game onto a Debian Linux server and ran it successfully for 3 months with an average user base of 30, before taking it off-line.
Running a personal home network with a multi operating system integrated environment. The operating systems include Debian Linux 3.0, Solaris 8 x86, and Windows 2000 Professional. All computers integrate with each other flawlessly and are run in sync for various internet tasks such as DNS, web/ftp serving, mailer daemon (sendmail/qpopper) etc.
BASIC ATTITUDE Honest, hard working, geeky, computer genius, love to learn anything and everything about computers, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
