OBJECTIVE  
         	   To pursue a challenging career in software development with
         	   emphasis on Graphical User Interface design and development 
		   in a progressive organization.

EDUCATION    

10/90 - 08/92      M. S., Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849
                   Computer Science and Engineering, GPA: 3.8/4.0. 
                   	THESIS: "A Visual Programming Tool for Fortran D
                   	programming," directed by Dr. Cherri M. Pancake. 
                   	Developed a graphical tool (using Xt, MOTIF and C++) 
			that aids parallel programmers in specifying data 
			access patterns.  This tool will complement a compiler 
			and programming environment being developed at Rice 
			University for Fortran D, which adds a set of extensions
			to Fortran to create a deterministic and portable 
			parallel programming language for distributed memory 
			multiprocessors.
