I will be graduating this June with a B.S. in CS and I am interested
in pursuing any type of software engineering career, especially one in
R&D and with some connection to Japan.

Objective: To obtain a position using technical and communication
skills to design and create a software product.

Education:
9/89-6/93:   Stanford University, B.S. in Computer Science

3/92-6/92: Stanford Center for Technology and Innovation, Kyoto, Japan
Completed coursework in Japanese, Japan's political economy and
Japanese business management style-included many tours and interviews
at Japanese companies.

Experience:
9/92-6/93     Research and Programming in Robotics, Stanford University
Working alongside Prof. Latombe on a joint research project with the
computer science department and the medical school to write a motion
planning program for a device used in radiosurgery.  Project involves
formulating and implementing an algorithm to model an arbitrarily
shaped brain tumor with spheres(sphere packing).

6/92-9/92     Created Package to Optimize Parallel Programs, ATR labs,
Nara, Japan Designed and implemented a package for use in debugging
and optimizing parallel programs.  Through use of this package was
able to refine sample parallel programs to run about two to three
times faster than before.  Package is now used by programmers at ATR
in porting code to parallel architectures.  The package monitors
semaphore use, message passing and statistics on active processes
while a parallel program is running and afterwards interprets the raw
data and graphically displays various information.  ATR labs is
affiliated with NTT.

9/91-3/92     Organized Computer Service Project, Costanyo Elementary
School Acquired over 20 free educational programs for East Palo Alto,
Ca. school and helped teachers learn how to use them.  Set up a
workshop where Stanford students taught elementary school students
basic ideas of computing.

1/91-9/91     Designed and Programmed a GUI, Matsushita, Osaka, Japan
Created a graphic user interface for a semiconductor modelling package
using X windows and Motif.  Worked part time during the school year
with Prof. Dutton's laboratory and full time during the summer in
Japan on this joint project between Stanford and Matsushita.
  
Other Information:
Knowledge of the following: C, Lisp, CLOS, EmacsLisp, Smalltalk,
Pascal, ADA 68000 assembly language, Motif, X windows, Unix, DOS and
NeXT and Apple platforms.
Wrote last technical report in Japanese.  Speaking ability and
listening comprehension are also strong.  Generally familiar and
comfortable with Japanese customs and etiquette.
