Michael Koby’s Summary
I have experience in multiple areas of technology. I have worked on Windows networks and Linux networks. I have worked in mixed environments as well. I have an MCSE on Windows 2000 and a MSCA on Windows 2000 & 2003 Server. I have an MCAD in C# development for .Net 1.1.
I have around 4 years programming experience mainly focused on data integration and primarily in C#. I also have 2-3 years Linux administration experience and have worked with the following technologies:
-Linux (Gentoo & Ubuntu)
-Windows
-.Net (C#)
-Subversion
-SQL Server 2000/2005
-MySQL
-ASP.Net
For almost two years co-hosted the nationally syndicated technology radio show, Power of Information.
As for my goals, I want to expand my understanding of programming in C# as well as other languages such as Java, C/C++, and PHP. I would also like to improve my understanding of Linux administration as well as general system administration. I am never happy doing just one thing all the time and need to be able to try and learn new things continuously. I am always looking to improve my skill set in multiple technology based areas.
