Objective: A working environment is by definition unfinished, with room for much im- provement. My main ambition is to improve the working environment into one that is sturdier, safer, more organized, and well-documented. I also like to share my vision with colleagues, and inspire them to improve our environ- ment. This is crucial towards ensuring new features can be rolled out success- fully.
Security: Unix permissions: the very basics of unix security, yet I rarely find a server which doesn’t contain mistakes. Firewalls: iptables, pf, altq. Networking: cisco switches. Crypto: OpenSSH, IPSEC, OpenVPN, gnupg. IDS: Snort, packetfence. Monitoring: Nagios, cacti, monit, logfile analysis. Integration/SSO: LDAP, kerberos, freeipa. Hardening: closing down unneeded services, setting up access lists, log-analysis, applying patches, install intrusion detection. Code: Principles of secure coding, Code auditing.
1 Coding assistance: I actively help with Open Source development. I’m experienced in: Debugging: Installation of beta-software using snapshots or CVS, debugging with GDB, systematic searching, reporting bugs, testing and submitting patches. Communication: Discuss bugs and feature requests with coders and endusers using e-mail or IRC. Documentation: I write compact, clear and well typesetted documentation in various formats such as HTML, LATEX and mandoc. I prefer writing documen- tation in wiki format.
Coding: Shell-scripts: I write shell- or bash-scripts for systemengineers and end-users to simplify tasks. I write in clear style with lot’s of comments. For example: install latest kernel 1 C: I’m also experienced in C basics, which is very practical for various tasks like debugging, compiling, porting and creating small functions and applications like: fbsetbg2
Hardware and Datacenters:
Task oriented acquirement and construction of computers and peripherals. Finding and replacing defective parts. Reusage of old hardware. Lots of expe- rience in datacenters with mounting, patching and labeling. I’m ESD certified.
Cisco I have experience with Cisco switches and I certainly want to get certified and learn more about them
Education and coaching:
I’m experienced in educating and coaching unix engineers through years of ex- perience on IRC and at Utelisys were we were constantly searching for young- sters gifted in ICT. Also I have educated fellow engineers on various levels with their jobs. 1 http://homepage.boetes.org/software/install_latest_kernel/ 2 http://homepage.boetes.org/software/fbsetbg/fbsetbg.html
2 System Maintainance: Tactical and Strategical: System maintainance is a very special kind of job. You have to be able to keep a working system running and at the same time improve it in a very controlled fashion. This requires insight, creativity, modisty, wisdom, stress resistance, creativity, flexibility, diplomacy, focus and endurance. This makes system maintaince an always fascinating and challenging profes- sion for me.
