The nature of IT is constant learning and improvement, which is something that I would like to continue to do in the field. I've worked small scale at both a contract manufacturing company's network and volunteered to help maintain a small schools' network for a couple of years. During my time at Dakota State University, I was employed in a student research program called INSuRE. It is headed by John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory which is engaged with the National Security Agency (NSA) researching static code analysis programs. I am hard working, timely and willing to learn new information. If an employer provides a list of topic information to be prepared for a project, I am willing to research the information and begin self teaching to prepare to complete a task. My past and present experiences in both academics and employment will help me in the future, as I am willing to relocate.I spend my free time learning new software, playing guitar, occasionally studying malware and new exploits, reading on various subjects, learning new and better ways to use Linux, listening to copious amounts of music and playing video games with friends.
