I am an EXCELLENT, RESPONSIVE, and INNOVATIVE computer scientist who is
looking for an organization with the same qualities to pioneer computer
technology with.

        "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."

My primary fields of interest are Telecommunications, Software Engineering
Environments, Computer Languages, Operating Systems, and Computer-Human
Interaction.

I:
- Enjoy travel,
- Am available immediately,
- Am extremely adaptable and fast to learn,
- Am principled, diligent, and intensive, and
- Perform well under stress.

I can most rapidly be reached at the phone number below.
