Dear Prospective Employer:

I would like to obtain a summer programming job in the NJ/NY area. I am 
currently a freshman at Princeton University's School of Engineering, 
specializing in Computer Engineering.  I am interested in applying my 
problem-solving ability and programming skills to create innovative 
solutions to concrete problems.  I have had considerable experience 
composing programs as described in my resume. 

I am the type of person who becomes very absorbed in all his programming 
tasks.  For me, the successful completion of a project is in itself very 
fulfilling.  Therefore, I consider the amount of compensation to be of 
secondary importance.    

I would be happy to discuss further my qualifications with you.  I can 
be contacted either through my e-mail address shown above or through the 
addresses listed under my resume. Thank you very much for your time and 
consideration.

OBJECTIVE: Computer Programmer


EDUCATION:
      Princeton University, B.S.E.,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,
      June, 1995.  GPA: 4.0.  Math SAT: 780.


ACADEMIC BACKGROUND:
      * Have taken Introduction to Programming Systems, which covers computer
        organization, system programming, and programming efficiency.  Received
        A's on all seven programming projects.
      * Currently taking Algorithms and Data Structures.
      * Received a score of 5 (highest score) on the AP Computer Science AB 
        Exam.
      * Excellent knowledge of C, Pascal, and BASIC, especially the Borland 
        Turbo language versions.  Extensive experience with MS-DOS.  
        Proficiency in Microsoft Windows 3.0, UNIX operating system, and Sun 
        Sparc Assembly. Experience with Prolog.                           


MAJOR PROGRAMMING PROJECTS:
      * Created a text editor in C for the UNIX environment that has all basic
        commands such as save file, retrieve file, cursor movement, delete 
        character, insert character, page up, and page down.  In addition, 
        this editor has a powerful word wrapping feature.
      * Wrote the computer strategy module for a VAX Pascal version of 
        Scrabble, as a member of the programming team at the 1990 New Jersey 
        Governor's School in the Sciences.  No human player was able to beat 
        the computer.
      * Constructed a fractal generator using Turbo Pascal that draws each
        successive generation of a fractal image and automatically sizes the 
        image to fit on the screen.
      * Composed a Turbo C program which illustrates and magnifies various
        sections of the Mandelbrot set according to initial values specified by
        the user.  To speed up the video routines, this program directly 
        accesses the VGA board, bypassing the standard Turbo C graphics 
        library.  All new images are saved on disk as an array which allows 
        for quick reviews.


WORK EXPERIENCE:
      Library Assistant, Princeton University, Chemistry Library, Summer 1991.
      * Updated computerized inventory of books in the library.
      * Created a database file which listed all missing books according to 
        the different categories.            


HONORS AND AWARDS: 
      * National Merit Scholarship Finalist.
      * 1990 and 1991 Burlington County Math League Champion.
      * Attended 1990 New Jersey Boys' State.
      * Attended 1990 National Young Leaders' Conference in Washington, D.C.


SPECIAL INTERESTS: 
      Tennis, table tennis, bowling, video games, amateur radio (technician
      class).
