Hi Everyone,

I am Don Brown and I'm working with Codethink on the CIP project. I am based in Indianapolis, IN USA. By day, I am an Engineering Specialist for CBRE, Inc. stationed at the Eli Lilly and Company Corporate Center and responsible for the automation equipment in the Pharmaceutical Research Buildings.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Integrated Manufacturing Technology (CIMT) from Purdue University and have 26 years of experience in Industrial Automation and Control systems and about 15 years of Project Management experience.

From 2007 to 2016 I taught classes at ITT Technical

Institute in both the Information Technology and Electronics Technology programs. I taught several courses, but the relevant ones for CIP are:

- Linux Networking - Linux Security - C Programming - C++ Programming - Microprocessors & Microcontrollers - Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's) - Java I & II Programming

Additionally, I am currently 1/2 way through my Masters degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Computer Systems Security at Colorado Technical University Online. I expect to graduate in June 2017.

My initial focus is on testing the CIP kernel with a focus on security testing. I am coming up to speed with KernelCI and refreshing my CI skills.

I am looking forward to working with you all. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help!

Thank you!
