Generally rounded tech/admin. Over the 8+ years that I have been working in IT, I have supported a large variety of hardware, software, networking, and support for a mind numbing amount of different peripheral devices. I have done support for a few OEMs, large enterprises, and a few small company short term projects.
Odd specialties include PKI (certificates, SSL, encryption, CA servers, etc.) and smart cards. I am currently part of a dedicated PKI team for a very large organization (which means I have lots of time to post on EE) - we run multiple PKIs at different assurance levels . I used to be a test engineer for a smartcard company a couple years ago.
Seems like some people like to track these things, so I guess I will try to keep track too...

Haven't really been tracking point or rankings... I'll go from here on out... I'm at 638,263 as of right now (3/17/2009) - not too bad I suppose.
6/8/2009 - I am at 913,323 points - lets see if I can scrape together a cool million by the end of my first year posting here. The rankings have been broken for awhile so I don't know where I am these days, but I would imagine I'm well within the top 500 since I think I was nearing that point before the ranking systems went under construction.
7/8/2009 - reached the million point mark in just under a year of posting. Not too shabby I suppose. Whaddya know, I'm a Genius... The rankings page says there are 393 Geniuses in the overall totals - so I guess that's right about where I'm ranked these days since the ranking system is still down.
10/23/2009 - Slowly climbing the ranks now as the overall points are much higher. Now up to #323 with 1,244,387 points - the rankings system is finally back up and running.
