***************@*****.*** - 770-***-**** - Duluth, GA 30096

I'm a LAMP stack developer who is looking to make a career change to Linux system administration. I have done informal system administration for a long time for development boxes for development teams. I simply enjoy system type work a lot more than web-development. I'm looking for someone to value these skills, and for a place for me to thrive given that opportunity.
