About Me

I'm Sean: webmaster, head writer, editor and CEO of SeanELavelle.com. I've been blogging at several different places, as well as had several failed starts at a home page. Over the last year I came to the realization that as a technology professional, I really needed to claim a piece of the internet as my own. Sadly seanlavelle.com was taken and so I have settled for sean{e}lavelle.com. "Why the curly braces?", you ask. First, I've spent too much of my lilfe around C and Perl. Second, I think it looks good. Let me know if there is any confusion and I'll work on it.

 

 

Professional

I've spent most of my professional life around computers. I currently work in network security for JPMorgan Chase Bank. One of the constants over the course of my career is that I am always looking for new challenges. Currently IT Security seems to place my on the bleeding edge of information technology. After having spent 4 years primarily dealing with IT Security, I am constantly surprised with the level and breadth of new challenges that arise almost daily. This is not to say that I have completely focused on security. Keeping a broad knowledge base has always seemed to be the best strategy. Over the course of my career I have worked as :

  • A Webmaster
  • A Programmer
  • A Technical Sales Liaison
  • A Technical Support Engineer
  • A System Administrator
  • An Identity Administrator
  • A Security Engineer

Personal

Aside from technology, I have several other intersts. I love to read, travel, take pictures, hike, camp and cook. I currently live in Columbus, Ohio and graduated from The Ohio State University in 2000 with a BS in Computer Science. I grew up in Avon Lake, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland).

Pages:

Sean's Blog My personal blog. Mainly focused on blogging, the web, photography, travel and all the assorted minutte that make me so fascinating. Updated several times a week.

Sean's Tumblog Random things I've found across the web. Hosted at Tumblr.com

Photography Photography is one of my passions. I want my photographs to envoke a sense of the places that I have seen to the viewer. Digital photography allows me to really deal with all aspects of the picture taking process. It also saves me alot of money. I would tend to shoot 20 rolls of film and between buying the film and developing it would cost almost as much as a decent digital camera.

Photo Gallery A hodge podge of pictures I've taken. One of these days I will actaully get a standard gallery that I like together, but for now it is a jumble of flikr images, webpages, and web galleries.

Travel One of these days I am going to get around to writing about my travels. When I do, it will go here.
