1. Selection of classes to choose from.
2. Quality of teachers and small classes allows for great attention to detail with our work.
3. Ability to create your own major that satisfies your areas of interest.
1. The lack of focus on security topics. I believe writing secure code should be taught from day one.
2. Discrete Math.
3. Ability to choose software projects of interest for classes.

About Me:
I am currently a Senior pursuing a degree in Computer Science. In the past, I have developed, integrated various technologies and administered and audited websites. I have also worked with PHP, MySQL, HTML, javascript, flash, AJAX, Content Management Systems (CMS) like Joomla, Drupal and Plone as well as building web applications from scratch on a daily basis. Additionally, my past experience includes work with Apache, sendmail, postfix, courier, imap-uw, dovecot, IPFW and Packet Filtering (PF) as well as many security techniques. I have also many years of administration with Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Unix operating systems. My main area of interest is security and I spend most of my time coding, auditing, researching and reading how to develop a better toolset. I have a deep understanding of advanced security attack and defense mechanics on all OS platforms and system auditing. I enjoy programming in C/C++, Java, ASM, PHP, Javascript.
