Dear Potential employer;

	I am a Master of Computer Science graduate from the University
of Manitoba. I have completed my requirements for graduation in October,
and am available for immediate employment. I am currently looking for a
position which is both challenging and rewarding.  

 I am looking to obtain a position of application programmer.
I have worked on such projects as a simulation program on a SUN
UNIX environment. This was a team project and I was leading two 
programmers over the three terms. I used this experience to gain
the C and XWindows skills I have maintained. I have also spent over
one year programming using object-oriented techniques. This experience
was the implementation of my thesis project. This project consists
of over 9000 lines of c++ code which implements a visual programming
language of my own design. this thesis required me to use software on
UNIX, Macintosh and MSDOS platforms. in addition I have written compilers
on UNIX and Macintosh systems from scratch, and using compiler-construc-
tion tools. Compilers, languages, user interfaces and operating systems
are my main areas of interest.

My resume is included. If any of my skills are of interest to you,
do not hesitate to contact me. My present address and phone number are
at the top of this letter.


                                                  Yours Sincerly

		DETAILED EMPLOYMENT RECORD

9/91-12/91 - DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

	Employed part-time (four hours per week) to continue
 work on the fish growth system that I worked on during my summer employment.
 This time worked to add a fish density bar-graph, and postscript printing
 ability to the multitank system. General maintenance on both the multi and
 single fish growth systems was performed.

5/91-7/91 - DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

	Continued work from previous summer. This time
 creating graphic charting routines for the single fish growth system. As
 well the ability to print these graphs to a postscript printer was added.
 Added a command logging system and performed general maintenance on the
 multi-fish growth system.

7/90-8/90 - DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

	Employed to continue work on a system that simulated
 fish growth in tanks under controlled conditions. The system was developed
 on SUN SPARCstation 1's using the C language and the XView toolkit. Majority
 of work involved the creation of graphics routines using Xlib graphics to
 display growth using histograms. As well routines to print growth statistics
 textually and an interface to control the appearances of graphs were devel-
 oped.

5/87-8/87
MANITOBA TELEPHONE SYSTEM

	Employed as a programmer in the Network Planning section. Developed
 programs in Dbase III to aid in the tracking of telephone trunk lines. Work
 involved developing several programs which converted data supplied elec-
 tronically from a mini-computer to Dbase format. Also developed a program to
 convert telephone traffic data supplied in Lotus 1-2-3 format to Dbase format.
 All programs had simple forms type interfaces to aid the user. All work was
 done on an IBM PC/AT computer running MSDOS.
