I am looking for employment as a design engineer. I would be happy
designing both hardware and/or software. My job description is broad
because I am looking for work that requires creativity as well as 
dedication, and I think design work of any kind will fit this
description.

Please allow me to tell you a little bit about myself. I received my
BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UT Austin in May 1990
and entered the MS program in the Fall of the same year. Graduate
school has been a wonderful experience for me, for besides introducing
me to new concepts, it has opened my mind to new ways of thinking. I
selected my graduate curriculum with two goals in mind: the first was
to develop the analytical tools to model problems and to evaluate
potenial solutions; the second was to develop an understanding of the
technology in which I wanted to express my ideas.  At the culmination
of my studies, I am looking for a company that values creative thinking
and is dedicated to making the best product.

My appended resume contains a description of the term projects I have
undertook and completed in school. Almost all of these projects were
worthy of academic pursuit but they were also a lot of fun to do. My
resume also provides additional information about my graduate and 
undergraduate work as well as my technical skills. If you have any
questions, please contact me at (512) 478-8274.

P.S. If you represent a small company in either California or Texas,
I could take care of the transportation to and from your offices on
my own.
