This article was originally written in the third by unknown; I have since edited it to be in the first, saving much of the original article; so, if any of it sounds (ahem) cocky(/ahem), I attrib it to TFA.

Jamie Rishaw (James G. Rishaw) (March 20, 1975 - ) am a UNIX/Internetworking engineer born to parents Deborah and Gary in Parma, Ohio, a suburban area of Cleveland, Ohio. I am a engineer (PhD/PhDs.), Grey Hat/Computer Security professional, photographer and DJ.

Professional life

[edit]

Spending the early part of my professional and adult life in Los Angeles, California, I've spent my early career days as far back as the prime of the Dot-com bubble at Exodus Communications, the at-the-time largest Network service provider in the world. A senior engineer assigned to properties including Ebay, Hotmail and others, I rode the 'bubble' from its infancy through its burst in 2000-2001.

In October of 2000, I'd moved to Chicago, taking a key technology position with Playboy Enterprises, the parent company of Playboy magazine, Playboy TV/Spice TV, Playboy.com and others. From there he moved to consulting roles in the private and public sectors, including work in division at the FBI and later a key architecture role at AOL, the world's largest ISP.

Side projects of mine augmenting my career and experience/expertise include the creation/architecture of cEvin, the predecessor to the popular Eggdrop IRC bot and tuning and code contribution to IRCd, a server chat software capable of holding server networks supporting some 100,000 simultaneous users.

Childhood

[edit]

Early childhood and teenage years were spent in Parma, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. I was relatively quiet about his childhood. Generally, peers of mine have (apparently) described my childhood as rather introverted; teachers of mine (who I've later asked) told me they were frustrated that I "never did homework, but aced all the tests"(citation ref direct).

Public Service

[edit]

My most wellknown contribution, aside from Club DJ days in the Los Angeles rave scene (under the moniker The Red Crayon), is arpa.com, initially a UUCP system supporting e-mail for my own ventures and Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails, respectively bang path named arpa and nin.

Education

[edit]

I am an autodidact by nature; I like to teach myself, and I like (what I call) my ability of "knowing how to know". Professionally, this attests to my uncanny ability to troubleshoot just about anything. I have a Bachelor of Technology degree with a minor in Information security from Columbia, as well as an Hon. D.Sc. Other professional non-academia certifications and accreditations include those from Cisco Systems (CCNA, CCNP and CCIE written), Check point , Sun Microsystems (SCNA, SCSA) and @stake (Security, Countercyberterrorism).
