Dear Prospective Employer:
  I am a graduate student at Utah State University, with Master of
  Science in Computer Science. I have completed in August' 92. My area of
  specialization  is Parallel Processing (includes my thesis work).
  I am presently working with Moore Business Communication Systems, Logan, 
  UT, as Systems Administrator/Programmer. This network consists of three 
  network servers and about 35 DOS workstations running FTP's PC/TCP software. 
  The network servers run SCO-ODT v1.1.1 and Xenix. Familiar with NFS, NIS, 
  RPC, Perl and Shell programming.
  I have worked on my thesis, titled "Particle based modeling on Parallel
  Computers". Here, I analyzed three methods for their efficiency, load
  balancing, and communication costs in relation with particle based models. 
  Three methods are Sequential, a Bulletin-board and Non-Bulletin-board 
  methods. The Parallel Computers here are networked UNIX workstations. 
  The project needs extensive programming on UNIX networking system calls, 
  specifically Berkeley sockets, and System V IPC (shared memory, 
  semaphores etc.). 
  My field of interests are Systems programming, Modelling and Computer
  Networks. I am proficient in "C", and assembly languages on UNIX and DOS
  platforms. My resume is enclosed herewith.
  I would appreciate if you consider me for the position. Should you 
  need more information or references, I can be reached at (801) 752-1241
  or at (408) 732-3546. 
  Thanks.

  Educational Qualifications 
  
    * First Rank in Bangalore University for the Bachelor of Engineering
      (Instrumentation Technology) examination in India, in June'87. In 
      the final year of my course designed and developed a low cost
      CNC Lathe.  

    * Pursuing Master of Science in Computer Science at Utah State 
      University, Logan, Utah. Completed in June'92.
 
  Objective 
  
    * Position as a Software Programmer.
 
  Work Experience 
  
    * At present (ie. from Dec'91) I am working with Moore Business 
      Communication Systems, Logan, Utah installing the Local Area 
      Network which consists of a UNIX server and 30 DOS workstations, 
      in continuation of my summer internship. This include installing 
      SCO-ODT on the server and FTP Software's PC-TCP Plus on PC 
      workstations. This also include customizing the network for 
      printing on a network printer and running the DOS applications 
      off the Server. Other duties include weekly backups, maintaining 
      NFS and PCNFS, performance tuning (server and clients),
      maintaining and configuring UUCP connections with customers and
      research unit of MBCS  etc.

    * As an intern (a LAN Co-ordinator) with Moore Business Communication 
      Systems, Logan, Utah from June'91 to Aug'91 done an analysis of 
      Networking needs and the options available for their Computer Center 
      (software and hardware). This include options for 25-node PC-386 
      workstations to be able to communicate with IBM 43xx and emulate 
      IBM 3270 terminals.

    * As a Programmer (part-time) with Spillman Data Systems Inc., Logan, 
      Utah from Sep'90 to Jan'91 developed Report generation programs in    
      Perl for SDS FORCE, a law enforcement software package.

    * As a Consultant at Computer Science lab, from Sep'89 to Sep'90 I 
      am familiar with most of the systems and software packages.

    * At Utah State University as a graduate student
  
        * developed front and back end's of a compiler for USUSL (USU 
	  Source Language, a subset of Pascal) in `C' on UNIX system.

        * developed an Expert System to recognize types of birds one 
	  comes across (of course depending on the knowledge base) 
	  in PROLOG.

        * Extensively worked with Logical Systems C (a parallel 
	  programming version of C) on Transputer (T800) based machines.

        * Extensively worked with Novell SFT/Advanced Netware (a local 
	  area networking software).

        * I have completed developing algorithms and programming protocols 
	  for implementing Particle based Simulation Models in Biology 
	  on Parallel Computers towards my thesis. The biological system 
	  of interest is the foraging behavior of a colony of ants. The
	  objective of this work is to demonstrate the usefulness of
	  implementing particle-based models on Parallel Computers. For
	  this, the model is implemented as Sequential, Bulletin-board, 
	  and Non-Bulletin-board programs. After the implementation, the three 
	  methods are compared for speed-up, load balancing, granularity, 
          and communication costs. The Bulletin-board implementation is on a 
          distributed-memory processor, with globally shared resources. The
          Non-Bulletin-board method is also on a distributed-memory processors, 
          but without any global shared resources. I have implemented this on 
          SUN workstations. The work includes extensive socket programming and 
          system calls usage.

        * I was a member of a group modeling the movement of individuals 
          in herds to determine the risk of predation on individuals. This 
          involves programming in ``C'' for Statistical analysis and Voronoi 
          polygons for a set of points in 2-dimensions. This work has been 
          submitted to Science magazine.

    * As Systems Engineer with Best Crompton Engg. Ltd., Madras,

        * Controlling modules for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition 
	  (SCADA) system. Also customized the software for SCADA system.

    * Designed and developed Annunciators, Level sensors for ash hoppers

      Desein(New Delhi) Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India from September'87 
      to June'88.
