Hi,

I am an experienced computer programmer who is looking for a permanent 
work with the industry. If you find the following description of my 
job skills matched to one of your job openning, I hope you will contact 
me at the address provided.

I obtained my Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Engineering
from the University of Ottawa in 1988. In two of my four co-op
workterms, I was with the University of Ottawa's medical image
research team where I wrote the first complete software package on 
medical image processing. My other two co-op workterms were with
Bell-Northern Research where I worked as a tester for several DMS
switches (DS1,DS2,DS3) and helped senior engineers to produce the high
level block design of the Fiber Dynamic Network (FDN).

I am also receiving a second degree - Ph.D. in communication
engineering - in December 1992 from the University of Waterloo. My
area of research has been video coding, data compression and computer
graphics. 

Although I have a Ph.D, I will be equally glad if you will offer me a
job that is corresponding to a Bachelor level.

Please refer to my most current resume provided below for more detail.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Best regards
Hien Nguyen
