Isaac Force’s Summary

Through my various positions I have gained a wide variety of software development and system/network experience. I am equally comfortable integrating information from a random piece of network equipment in to an operational support system as I am troubleshooting an issue down to the packet level. I enjoy solving problems, improving efficiency in processes and breaking new ground among industry peers. I believe in the open source movement not only at a philosophical level, but as a means to greatly improve efficiency and bottom line costs.
