Greetings...

I sent this to another list earlier this week and felt it to be a decent
introduction to me and my skills.  Additionally, I would like to add
that I am very open to opportunities that do not directly relate to my
core skills, any position in which I can make a difference, have
challenges, and be able to grow both personally and within the
organization would be great.

I am moving back to Seattle this week for family and to finish my
degree, looking for some possible positions.  Experienced with 1099 and
W2 consulting, temp and perm positions being considered.

Extensive experience in the IT community; ten years total, seven in
security (firewalls, IDS, investigations, foresnics, etc.), four as a
post-mortem investigations consultant (after a Fortune 500 company would
get hacked), two specializing in government security (DOD, FBI, NSA) and
then the handful of filler tech jobs in between positions.

CV is available at <http://itys.net/~mjharmon/mjh-detail.doc>.

Thanks!
