< p > Hello,< / p >
< 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 a chance to talk about anything I wanted related to technology, I chose to talk about Edward Snowden.
When given a chance to talk about any emerging trend in technology, I spoke about public-key encryption and the emerging Curve25519 eliptic curve crytographic method.< / p >
< h5 id = "security-and-privacy-drive-how-i-use-computers" > Security and privacy drive how I use computers.< / h5 >
< p > I run Linux as my primary operating system. I use an offline password manager. My browser clears cookies every time I restart it.
These are all things that I do personally to protect myself.< / p >
< p > It would be more motivating than ever to be responsible for the protection of somebody else’ < / p >
< p > Security is built 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 > What I have to offer skill-wise is in my resume.< / p >
< p > Thank you for your time; I hope I will be considered.< / p >
< h4 id = "location" > Location< / h4 >
< p > I would also like to mention that although I currently live in Calgary, I would be willing to move to Vancouver for this position without compensation for the move.< / p >
