Linux Administrator and Application Developer
Greater Omaha Area
Currently a student in MIS at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, graduating in August 2008. I'm an experienced developer in web applications using PHP and Linux applications using C++ and Gtkmm. I also have medium level Linux system administration and networking.
I'm an active developer outside of work and school, working many projects:
- A teacher reviews site for UNO
http://www.ouruno.com/
- Omaha City wiki project
http://www.omahawiki.org/
- An unfortunately named client side encrypted online password vault
http://www.blowpass.com/
- A buddy list client for The Mana World MMORPG

- A cross-platform graphic effects library using OpenCV
http://static.velvetcache.org/projects/libcvfx/
- A super-simple video device library, early in development, currently wrapping specific V4L devices

With lots of other little projects in there too.
For goals, I would like to be a project manager/lead developer on a project within five years of graduation, hopefully on an interesting project.
I'd like to have some of my open source work gain acclaim and to become a Debian developer for my packages.
I'd like to learn the Qt toolkit, learn to program micro controllers and write a device driver for a video device.
Video devices on Linux, Secure Linux system configuration, Debian and OpenSuSE distribution administration, the MooTools framework, practical application of encryption on Linux, I can communicate well with non-technical people and translate their wants into practical specifications
