[Charlug] In the job market

[Jared Watkins]

Hello Charlotte linux community...

I've recently re entered the job market and thought I should put the
word out here.  I have about 10 years professional experience with linux
in an admin/engineer role.  I've been heavily involved with  open source
solutions in general and more specifically with complex email systems.
I'm currently working as a telecommuting consultant for a company that
does large email systems and I have many years experience working in an
enterprise/datacenter environment before that.  While in that role I was
the go to guy for doing technical evaluations and testing of new tech.
Specifically this resulted in the implementation of a virtualized FC SAN
with a DR site and an architecture change to blade servers.

I also do some side consulting work and have thought seriously about
pursuing that more with a focus on small and mid size businesses. I also
have some experience and training in various aspects of wireless
networks and wifi security as well as Asterisk based phone systems.  I'm
especially good at finding solutions to business problems that make use
of low cost open source systems and finding ways to automate tasks with
various kinds of scripting.


If anyone has need of such work.. or knows of opportunities in Charlotte
please drop me a line.  I have a resume and references available.

Thanks,
Jared
