Good thing you've mentioned a resume career objective, good thing that you've mentioned education and experience, but you might want to work a little upon the skills area, because you've only mentioned computer skills. Your skills are very very important and you should organize this area very well.

I like your resume.

Only things I would change:

1. Change "Language" to "languages".

2. Mention your Russian fluency.

Since you're able to make computers jump through hoops and are fluent in Russian, I assume the CIAwould love to have you working for them.  Have you applied for intelligence positions using your language?
