</pre><p>I am a student at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), in Calgary, Alberta where I am taking a general IT diploma with a software development major.</p><p>The simple way of explaining my relationship with security is that it is <em>exactly</em> what I want to be doing with my career. When given an assignment to chose any technology related topic, I chose to talk about Edward Snowden; for an emerging trend topic, I delved into public-key encryption and the Curve25519 eliptic crytographic method.</p><p>I run Linux as my primary operating system, and I use an offline password manager. My browser clears cookies every time I restart it. These are some basic things I do personally to protect myself.</p><p>I think everybody has things they should be keeping secure, and I am very motivated to help them achieve the messure of security needed.</p><p>Security is build right into my goals for my programming career. I have two goals:</p><ol><li>Create ease of use for strong crytography, security and privacy tools.</li><li>Accessibility of software to the visually impaired.</li></ol><p>These goals are intertwined in: “If you make something good, make it for everyone.”</p><p>I’ve included my resume for your review, and would like to note that I would be pleased to relocate to Vancouver for this position.</p><p>Thank you for your time in considering me for this position!</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Tait Hoyem</p><footer></footer></div></main></body></html>
