My Resume

So it looks like I'm out of a job.  The company I'm working for is closing the doors.

Anyhow, this is really just for practical purposes, so that I can quickly direct people to my resume so they can see my experience. 
I'm leaving a lot of the specific identifying details out for safety/privacy reasons, but if anyone is seriously interested, I can provide them.  (Where context was necessary to be maintained, the privacy sensitive text has been replaced with descriptive text in Trebuchet font.  Otherwise sensitive detail has be excised entirely.)
