Subject: MSCS 2+ yrs, Compilers/Parallel Processing/Sys Admin/Modelling

Dear Prospective Employer:
  I am a graduate student at Utah State University, with Master of
  Science in Computer Science. I have completed in August' 92. My area of
  specialization  is Parallel Processing (includes my thesis work).
  I am presently working with Moore Business Communication Systems, Logan, 
  UT, as Systems Administrator/Programmer. This network consists of three 
  network servers and about 35 DOS workstations running FTP's PC/TCP software.

  The network servers run SCO-ODT v1.1.1 and Xenix. Familiar with NFS, NIS, 
  RPC, Perl and Shell programming. Also, I work as a System Administrator/
  Programmer with Biology Dept. for DEC 5000 series workstations.
  I have worked on my thesis, titled "Particle based modeling on Parallel
  Computers". Here, I analyzed three methods for their efficiency, load
  balancing, and communication costs in relation with particle based models. 
  Three methods are Sequential, a Bulletin-board and Non-Bulletin-board 
  methods. The Parallel Computers here are networked UNIX workstations. 
  The project needs extensive programming on UNIX networking system calls, 
  specifically Berkeley sockets, and System V IPC (shared memory, 
  semaphores etc.). The Bulletin-board method, in principle is based on
  Linda paradigm developed at Yale University. Also, I am familiar with RCS, 
  and SCCS.
  Through course work and projects undertaken at school I am also familiar 
  with VLSI design fundamentals, Object Oriented Programming, OSF DCE 
  Applications development and X11R4 programming.
  My field of interests are Systems programming, Modelling and Computer
  Networks. I am proficient in "C", and assembly languages on UNIX and DOS
  platforms. My resume is enclosed herewith.
  I would appreciate if you consider me for a suitable position. Should you 
  need more information or references, I can be reached at (801) 752-1241
  or (408) 732-3546.
  Thanks.

  Educational Qualifications 
  
    * First Rank in Bangalore University for the Bachelor of Engineering
      (Instrumentation Technology) examination in India, in June'87. In 
      the final year of my course designed and developed a low cost
      CNC Lathe.  

    * Pursuing Master of Science in Computer Science at Utah State 
      University, Logan, Utah. Completed in August'92.
 
  Objective 
  
    * Position as a Software Programmer.
 
  Work Experience 
  
    * From Dec'91 - Dec'92 I was working with Moore Business 
      Communication Systems, Logan, Utah installing the Local Area 
      Network which consists of a UNIX server and 30 DOS workstations, 
      as System Administrator/Programmer. This include installing 
      SCO-ODT on the server and FTP Software's PC-TCP Plus on PC 
      workstations. This also include customizing the network for 
      printing on a network printer and running the DOS applications 
      off the Server. Other duties include weekly backups, maintaining 
      NFS and PCNFS, performance tuning (server and clients), maintaining 
      and configuring UUCP connections, and setting up X-terminals.

    * As an intern (a LAN Co-ordinator) with Moore Business Communication 
      Systems, Logan, Utah from June'91 to Aug'91 done an analysis of 
      Networking needs and the options available for their Computer Center 
      (software and hardware). This include options for 25-node PC-386 
      workstations to be able to communicate with IBM 43xx and emulate 
      IBM 3270 terminals.

    * As a Programmer (part-time) with Spillman Data Systems Inc., Logan, 
      Utah from Sep'90 to Jan'91 developed Report generation programs in    
      Perl for SDS FORCE, a law enforcement software package.

    * As a Consultant at Computer Science lab, from Sep'89 to Sep'90 I 
      am familiar with most of the systems and software packages.

    * At Utah State University as a graduate student
  
        * developed front and back end's of a compiler for USUSL (USU 
	  Source Language, a subset of Pascal) in `C' on UNIX system.
          This compiler generates RISC code in one pass, as we didn't 
          implement any code optimization schemes.

        * developed an Expert System to recognize types of birds one 
	  comes across (of course depending on the knowledge base) 
	  in PROLOG.

        * Extensively worked with Logical Systems C (a parallel 
	  programming version of C) on Transputer (T800) based machines.
          I have implemented 2D and 3D FFT algorithms on a 8-node 
	  transputer board installed in an IBM PC.

        * Extensively worked with Novell SFT/Advanced Netware (a local 
	  area networking software).

        * I have completed developing algorithms and programming protocols 
	  for implementing Particle based Simulation Models in Biology 
	  on Parallel Computers towards my thesis. The biological system 
	  of interest is the foraging behavior of a colony of ants. The
	  objective of this work is to demonstrate the usefulness of
	  implementing particle-based models on Parallel Computers. For
	  this, the model is implemented as Sequential, Bulletin-board, 
	  and Non-Bulletin-board programs. After the implementation, the 
	  three methods are compared for speedup, load balancing, and 
	  communication costs. The Bulletin-board implementation is on a 
	  distributed-memory processor, with globally shared resources. The 
	  Non-Bulletin-board method is also on a distributed-memory 
	  processors, but without any globally shared resources. I have 
	  implemented this on SUN workstations. Both these approaches are
          implemented as a Client-Server model. The work includes extensive 
          socket programming and system calls usage.

        * I was a member of a group modeling the movement of individuals 
          in herds to determine the risk of predation on individuals. This 
          involves programming in ``C'' for Statistical analysis and Voronoi 
          polygons for a set of points in 2-dimensions. This work has been 
          submitted to Science magazine.

    * As Systems Engineer with Best Crompton Engg. Ltd., Madras, 
      India from June'88 to August'89, designed and developed

        * 10 mbps Ethernet Lan card with Intel 80186 as on-board processor,
          Intel 82586 a lan coprocessor and its associated peripherals. 
	  On-board software include lower two levels of ISO protocol.

        * Repeater  for the above application.

        * Controlling modules for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition 
	  (SCADA) system. Also customized the software for SCADA system.

    * Designed and developed Annunciators, Level sensors for ash hoppers 
      to thermal power plants while working as Engineer Trainee with 
      Desein(New Delhi) Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India from September'87 
      to June'88.

    * As Trainee with Integrated Data Systems, Hyderabad, India assembled 
      and debugged IBM PC-Compatibles.
