Hello,

My name is Andy Kuhn and I work for a Company called Kanbay. Kanbay is looking for a .NET Architect that will include some travel. The immediate need is in Southern CA, but we are also looking for someone to join our team at our Chicago Headquarters. I thought you or someone you knew might be interested in the position. Please check us out on the web at www.kanbay.com. Below is a position description and I am looking forward to your reply back with your thoughts and hopefully your resume. Please let me know either way as to what your interest level is for this position and if you are interested, please let me know when a good time to talk would be. If for some reason this position doesn't apply to your interests, could you be so kind to forward this on to anyone who might be? Once again, looking forward to your reply.

Kanbay is a values-driven organization. These values and our dedication to them are at the foundation of what makes Kanbay different and of particular value to our clients. Because we put our values into action, our clients rarely think of doing business with anyone else.

We value respect for the individual.

We value an ownership mentality that encourages innovation and risk-taking.
We value a spirit of cooperation which is seen in our ability to perform in teams and partnerships.
We value work that enables us to give back to our global society.

The Kanbay team is a group as diverse and as global as the organization itself. Yet among the team, there exists a "One Kanbay" outlook. We're a unified organization with a rich history and a common culture from top to bottom and from one region to another.
