To boost your resume, you could work on some of the large-scale open source systems (nosql etc.) That'll look good, and get you some good experience too.
You can run 1000 servers for an hour on Amazon for fairly cheap. If you use that to do some testing/benchmarks etc. of popular nosql systems, for example, and then write about that, you can create some notoriety in the big-systems world fairly fast.

Good luck!
