Brian Kelly's Resume

Brian M. Kelly

Chicagoland, IL

I am an IT professional looking for work specifically with programming, system administration, or systems analysis. I am currently only interested in considering jobs in the Chicago area, preferrably close to downtown.
Please inquire by email for further contact information.

Since earning my bachelor's degree in computer science from DePaul University, I have worked in computer information systems, with a focus on system support in UNIX environments. I have also worked in Quality Assurance, and found it to be rewarding and interesting. I run Linux at home and have written several of my own programs in my spare time. I am a Linux and Open Source Software enthusiast. I seek a challenging career where I can explore these interests.
