Distribution: usa
Organization: Villanova University



Dear Prospective Employer:

I am a graduate student in Computer Science at 'Villanova University' Villanova
PA.  Graduating with a Masters in Electrical Engineering and working towards the
Masters in Computer science I have over the period of time developed the
requisite skills with a keen interest for a growth oriented career in the field
of software design and implementation for data and knowledgebased systems.

I have had extensive hands on experience in VLSI design using Mentor graphics
CAD tools. I designed an ASIC chip for constant vector updates and analyzed its 
performance under various inputs. Microcomputer and networking hardware skills 
were developed during the work experience as also during studies at Villanova.
I am working towards gaining an appreciation certificate besides my regular
degree showing a high degree of proficiency and skills in the area of database
and knowledge basedsystems.I took major design projects in this area which
involved the design to implementation phases and gave me an excellent
understanding of the design issues and the concepts involved in relational
database design and expert shell development.

I am willing to relocate to any part of the country.  In the event of your
search for a match with this profile I am mailing my current resume for
consideration. An opportunity whereby I could discuss the details about my
technical qualification work experience and your requirements would be
appreciated. I thank you for your consideration and look forward to
hearing from you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Mian Tahir Masood
