My name is Kian Mohageri. I'm currently a student at Western Washington University studying Management Information Systems and working as the server administrator for ResTek (the group responsible for the the university's residential network). I like my job and am proud of what I/we do. Our machines run FreeBSD and OpenBSD, two of the best operating systems available. Aside from working with computers, I like to read, listen to music, and go out with my friends.
