|
<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’s data.</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>
