OBJECTIVE : To secure a position as a software engineer, with
a special interest in the development and support of computer
software involving structured methodologies for representation
and analysis, dynamic programming and the design of optimization
and interface algorithms involving computer graphics with
application to CAD/CASE, data diagnostics in an open systems
environment.

WORK EXPERIENCE
---------------
January 15th 1992 :         AGRICAD INC.

I have worked in developing software in the field of computer
aided design for agricultural mapping systems. This software
incorporates receiveing of real time data from satellites and
processing the data through a GPS unit. I also generated 
interfaces between application and many popular databases. The
software involves many graphics functions and is completely menu
driven. The entire code is written in C. The graphics user interface
was developed using MS Windows and SDK. I was also involved in
contract programming requiring client/user interaction.

Salary :- 32000/yr before annual performance review

During my undergraduate studies in India I have undergone summer
training at each of these firms at the end of which I have submitted
training reports. Certificates were awarded after the successful
completion of training and can be produced if necessary.

June 1986 :       TVS TORSION PVT. LTD.

I completed intensive in-plant training and generated software
for classification of various torsion products.

July, 1987 :      SIEMENS INDIA LTD.

I studied new technology aspects of Superbreed Motors being
manufactures in the plane and developed software to be used
on a numericaly controlled machine.

June, 1988 :      TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES

I completed case studies of software consisting of 10 database
modules and developed an eleventh module to generate reports 
from an integrated database.

EXPOSURE TO COMPUTERS
---------------------
Working knowledge of BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL, C, C++, Shell
Programming, LISP, PROLOG and ASSEMBLY language.

Worked on IBM-PC, IBM-PC-AT Compatible, DOS operating system,
MACINTOSH II, SUN 3/50, SUN 3/60 workstations, SPARC station
and Personal IRIS based on UNIX operating systems.

Working knowledge of MS Windows, SDK, Resource Compiler, X11
Windows and Graphics environment on UNIX and DOS operating
systems and networking protocols like TCP/IP and X.25

Worked on mainframe systems like IBM 3090, VAX and GOULD.

PROJECTS IN SCHOOL
-----------------
M.S.
---
An interface in CAD: This project involved the design and development
of object oriented software for a menu driven graphics interface
between two CAD software packages. Data structures to store coordinates
of the primitives were developed. An ingenious data retrievel system
was coded and the software was implemented using the X11 window
environment on a SUN workstation and written in C. The project was
sponsored by General Motors.

Robust Pattern Classification: A typical problem in object oriented
design, pattern recognition and inherent networking protocols is
distinguishing between good data and bad data. In thie project a 
model was designed and generated to solve the above problem using
Huber's algorithm. A menu driven graphical package was developed in
C involving optimization techniques and dynamic programming. The
implementation and testing of the software was performed on a SPARC
station. The project was sponsored by the Office of Naval Research.

Generation of software for a graphical interface with aspects of
Linear Classifier Design including parametric and non-parametric
density function estimations, feature selection and extraction and
linear mapping for multi-distributed data.

Simulation of a modified version of a back propagation training
algorithm to a feedforward neural network with complex weights.

B.S.
---
Fabrication of a Memory Voltmeter to measure Impulse Voltages. This
was a University-Industry collabration between my department and
Westinghouse-Sethuramon Industries Ltd. (India).
