Skills Programming: I primarily use the C, Perl, PHP, Javascript (AJAX), and Unix (Bourne) shell languages. I've also completed smaller projects using C++, Java, SQL, 8051 Assembler, Python, and others. Projects include developing new programs, and modifying Open Source projects, and have run from web development to microcontroller programming. I have experience with TCP/IP sockets, the POSIX API, GTK+, and lower power Linux embedded devices. Unix System Administration: I usually have some system administration responsibilities, and have installed and maintained systems running HTTP (Apache), FTP, POP, SMTP (Sendmail), IMAP, NNTP (INN), DNS (Bind), NIS, NIS+, NFS, SNMP, DHCP, CVS and SMB (Windows Networking) services. The web servers include virtual hosting, dynamic pages based on the user's browser, and a query engine for searching for multi-media files. I have configured networking infrastructure, including firewalls, routing between multiple sites and internet connections, and IPv6. I primarily use Linux, but have also used Solaris, Tru64 (Digital), HP-UX, AIX & BSD.

| Open Source Work | |
| I prefer to work with open source software, as I've found it to be easier, faster, and cheaper to develop when I can make fixes myself. A list of some fixes I've been able to contribute back is at http://www.sixpak.org/vince/source/. |
