Subject: UI Designer, MSc in HCI, Eastern Canada/US
Date: 4 Sep 92 18:46:57 GMT
Distribution: misc
Organization: Computer Science, Heriot-Watt University

I am about to finish a Masters degree in Human-Computer Interaction and
relocate to North America.  I will be arriving in Toronto, Ontario on
September 25th and will be available for interview thereafter.  I am looking
for work in eastern North America.  I have Canadian citizenship and
anticipate no problems in obtaining entry to the US since my wife is an
American citizen. 

I am looking for a work environment where I can work as part of a small team
(preferably multidisciplinary), designing, developing and delivering systems
that place people first.  In the future I'd like to lead such teams.

If I had to describe myself in one word it would be "craftsman".  I take
pride in what I do and in doing it well.  My background to date is:

        - extensive (5+ years) C and Prolog programming
        - extensive (5+ years) UNIX experience 
        - four years object-oriented programming experience in Smalltalk, Lisp,
          and C
        - three years work experience, mainly in GUI programming, since first
          degree (BSc (Hons), Computer Science, Edinburgh University)
        - three years X experience (Xlib/Xt/Athena/Motif)
        - extensive Mac user experience, some Hypertalk scripting
        - experience of many other programming languages including Standard
          ML, Fortran, and Unix shells 

I have also learned formal HCI analysis, design and evaluation methods during
my present degree.

My resume is enclosed below the dotted line.  If you find it interesting, get
in touch!
