Objective
Please note: I am not currently looking for independent programming work — my plate is full; however, I am accepting solicitations for technical writing. If you would like me to write an article, chapter, or a book about any of the areas I have experience with, please contact me at josh@apostate.com.
Summary
Having worked in the information systems field since 1988, my time has been split almost evenly between programming and system administration. I am Microsoft-certified in C#, and a seasoned developer with Windows, Unix, and embedded systems. This is balanced by broad experience installing, administering, and securing Windows and Unix-based networks, along with work as a DBA, Webmaster, and network security consultant. Such a combination provides an excellent understanding of software development, system integration, and project management. I am a published author on Perl programming, and have taken the lead role in many successful projects. I'm a quick learner, an excellent problem solver, a great communicator, and a dedicated professional.
