I'm a Gator, and I cut my computing teeth on a VAX running some archaic version of VMS. Many of us who VAXed at University of Florida still keep in touch. However, I don't believe anyone is scripting in DCL anymore. :-) I'm currently working as a Lead Security Anlayst at NASA, which involves various networking tools. My current security intereests are network security, vulnerability testing, and packet manipulation. I'm also interested in NetBSD and Debian Linux, as well as scripting tools like Python. My resume is here (PDF) if you want to see my work history. In case you're wondering, I look a little different than the picture here. I sometimes where a baseball cap.
