I am a highly technical, hands-on professional systems administrator and
software engineer who has lead the FedEx.com architecture and operations
teams for the last 10 years.  Please consider my application for a senior
position at {your fine organisation name here}.


Relevant technical skills:

Programming in many languages, strongest in C and C-like languages, shells,
Perl, general UNIX filters and build tools; special emphasis on portability
and reuse in all coding.  Reading comprehension of many other processors.

Design set including UNIX kernel APIs, CGI interfaces, network protocols
(DNS, common RFCs, RPC/XDRs, firewalls, routing, etc.), common libraries
(libc, CPAN, some DB interfaces, threads, etc.), compilers and systems to
build/automate software cross-platform building and installations.

Other relevant skills:

I recruit, mentor, and train senior and mid-level professionals, vendors and
specialists on a wide variety of topics; including XP, C, UNIX shell, kernel
APIs, parallel programming, and X windows.  My presentations of technical
issues/ideas to management and senior engineers are effictively targeted.

I've been a coach for two multi-year projects (at Magnavox and FedEx.com).
Listening to and presenting technical challenges to my team, and our peers is
an integral part of being a good coach.  I feel this is my strongest talent.

Work Experience:

Technical Fellow for Internet Operations, FedEx Services 11/1994 to Present

Designed, coached, implemented, and ran operations for www.fedex.com and
related Internet services.  Maintained the highest levels of availability,
service, and performance for as many as 4.5M package tracks per day and 1M
shipments.  As the senior architect for other FedEx OpCos Internet services,
like pilot.fedex.com, I delivered exceptional stability and vision to the
FedEx's Internet presence (viz. Top 10 Keynote Business 40 for 4 years).

Magnavox, Ft Wayne, IN		[Part time] 6/1991 to 11/1994

Coach, consultant, trainer, and evaluator for the programmer support
environment for a large military software project office.  Supported over 200
UNIX workstations, plus printers, file servers, dedicated Ada factories, and
media production equipment for a highly demanding technical work-force.
My services were instrumental in delivering a high quality product on-time and
with all functional and operational requirements exceeded.

Computing Center UNIX Admin, Purdue University, 11/1986 to 11/1994

Designed, implemented, and ran the operations for many student computing
labs, file servers, and consulting stations.  Implemented a common base of
OS, instructional, and application software across many divergent UNIX
platforms (BSD, HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, Ultrix, AIX, EPIX, SCO, and others)
to meet faculty, student and research computing needs.  Managed 10 part-time
staff positions, a student organization, and 2 extension courses.

While at Purdue I stopped the Morris worm (1988), was the moderator of
comp.sources.reviewed, and contributed code to many news groups.  My
implementation of "entombing", "install" and others are still in wide use.
