Career Objective:	
	To design and develop software solutions that employ my engineering
     	background and my knowledge of user interface design techniques.  
	I am particularly interested in execution instrumentation and
	visualization of scientific applications in high performance computing
	environments.

Education:
M.S.,	Computer Science, Auburn University, 1992.
	GPA: 3.94/4.00

Thesis: (thesis advisor: Dr. Cherri M. Pancake) Designing an object-oriented graph
	editor that supports the automatic layout of acyclic graphs and the
	creation of multiple logical representations through direct
	user-manipulation.  Implementing the graphical user interface using C++
	and the Athena widget set.

B.S.,	summa cum laude, Computer Engineering, Auburn University, 1990
	GPA: 3.97/4.00

Work Experience:

Auburn University, 1992: Research Assistant, Intel joint development project.
				(Dr. Cherri M. Pancake)

			interactive parallel debugger (IPD).
		Keywords: C++, Motif widget set, X Window System

		- coordinating the integration of enhanced tool components during
		  the final stages of the contract.
		- designing, implementing and integrating several portions of the
		  interface using C++, the X Toolkit, and the Motif widget set.
		- implementing a test suite of parallel applications to exercise
		  the iPSC/860 command set, used as part of the regression testing
		  process.
		- maintaining communication with the Intel iPSC/860 special
		  interest group regarding the compatibility of our interface
 		  with future Intel systems.
		- modifying and documenting Intel sample programs for the
		  instruction of novice users.

Auburn University, 1990-1991: 
		Instructor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
	Course Title: "Introduction to Personal Computer Applications".

	Project Title:	A graphical representation of algorithms, structures and 
			processes for Ada (GRASP/Ada).
		Keywords: Ada, software engineering.

		- gathered documentation on the use of DIANA nets as an internal
		  representation for Ada programs.
		- commenced a study of the requirements for converting between
		  DIANA nets and the Software through Pictures (StP) internal
		  database representation of diagrams.

Auburn University, 1988-1990: IBM AS/400 COBOL Programmer, Alumni Association.
				(Kenneth D. Pylant II)
