## Tait Hoyem
|
|
|
|
Hello,
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The simple way of explaining my relationship with security is that it is *exactly* 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.
|
|
|
|
##### Security and privacy drive how I use computers.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
It would be more motivating than ever to be responsible for the protection of somebody else's data.
|
|
|
|
Security is built right into my goals for my programming career. I have two goals:
|
|
|
|
1. Create ease of use for strong crytography, security and privacy tools.
|
|
2. Accessibility of software to the visually impaired.
|
|
|
|
These goals are intertwined in: "If you make something good, make it for everyone."
|
|
|
|
What I have to offer skill-wise is in my resume.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your time; I hope I will be considered.
|
|
|
|
#### Location
|
|
|
|
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.
