    Hello,

    my name is Ken Waletzki and I am interested in Contract or Perm. My
    resume follows this letter and expresses my technical specialties and
    general background.  In addition to my technical background I have 
    experience in management from leading software groups to operating my own
    consulting job-shop company.

    Some of my other nontechnical skills are

        o   Contract writing & negotiation
        o   Business administration
        o   Project Management
        o   Manual writing (user, installation, reference, etc.)
        o   Customer service

    
    As you will no doubt notice about my resume, I am very strong in software
    development and I have a broad software background.  Additionally, however,
    I have a good understanding of hardware and have conceptually designed many
    hardware products.  Not simply a rough hardware concept, but getting down
    to the specifics about chips, inputs/outputs, interrupts, and other 
    hardware design issues.

    I recently invented a software programmable frame sync for weather 
    satellites.  This involved designing a hardware interface board which I
    designed and had a EE build and test for me.

    I would like to either stay on the technical side taking on interesting
    and challenging projects, or, in the right company, take on a Project,
    Product, or other Management role.

    
    Thank you for your time and your attention.

    Sincerely,

    Ken Waletzki

                                  JOB HISTORY
                                  -----------
Ken Waletzki Cons.      Developed weather satellite frame-sync, ingest, and
Boulder, CO             sectorizer system for the GOES, METEOSAT, GVAR, and
Feb. 1992 to Present    other weather satellites.  This software is currently
Software Consultant     being distributed by Western Engineering and Satellite
                        Technologies in Menlo Park, CA.  My software is also 
                        being used by EarthWatch's SkyScape 3D weather system
                        at KUSA TV Channel 9 in Denver, KARE Channel 11 in
                        Minneapolis, and other sites.

IPS of California       I completely redesigned their weather satellite 
Belmont, CA             ground station products.  Six weeks after I started I
Feb. 1991 to Jan. 1992  fixed bugs in their current GOES receiver that was in
Sr. Software Engineer   development for more than one and a half years, and I
                        created a completely new product for them for the 
                        METEOSAT satellite, used by the Canadian weather 
                        service.  The GOES receiver is used by GTE CONTEL, the
                        University of Colorado, and other sites.

Array Technology Corp.  I was hired to modify an existing device driver to 
Boulder, CO             control the SCSI devices of a Disk Array [Level 5].  I
May 1990 to Jan. 1991   enhanced the software to perform multitasking 72 disk
Sr. Software Engineer   drives using 12 NCR 53C700 SCSI controllers.

Technology Brokers Inc. I owned and operated a Job Shop in Boulder, Colorado.
Boulder, CO             I contracted myself and other software and hardware
Jan 1989 to Mar 1990    consultants though this company.  For the majority of 
President               the time I contracted with UNISYS (see below).

UNISYS Corporation      I was contracted to do release engineering on a UNISYS
Boulder, CO             CAD workstation.  I released several products
Feb. 1989 to Jan. 1990  including an Ethernet Bridge, Weitek Math
Software Contractor     Coprocessor, 68030 CPU Board, GKS, X11R3, and others. 
                        My duties included developing test plans for hardware
                        and software systems; develop software for the tests,
                        perform the tests and record the results; develop
                        installation documents, training guides, and test
                        procedures; and provide consulting on C programming,
                        MAKEFILEs, device drivers, and other technical issues
                        to the software and hardware teams in the SS7 CAD
                        group.


FileNet Corporation     I was hired to port XNS from a Sun Microsystems       
Costa Mesa, CA          implementation to a Microvax II.  Additionally, I
Jul. 1988 to Jan. 1989  wrote a completely portable version of the CCITT
Software Contractor     Group III (FAX encoding/decoding) software in C -- it
                        runs on a PC (MS-DOS), Sun 3/50 (UNIX), Microvax
                        (VMS), and a VAX 8800 (ULTRIX).  I also developed an
                        image display program which runs under SunView and
                        displays variable-scaled images using FileNet's
                        banded-image format.

Philips Ultrasound      I has hired to correct, modify, and provide extensive 
Costa Mesa, CA          documentation for an in-house designed OS which
Jan. 1988 to Jun. 1988  controls an ultrasound machine.  The OS was based on
Software Contractor     the VRTX modules: VRTX, IOX, and FMX.  I changed the  
                        design of the OS to something more conventional by
                        implementing system traps and by extensively
                        rewriting much of the I/O drivers and interfaces.

Rocketdyne              For this NASA funded project for the robotics group at
Canoga Park, CA         Rocketdyne (Rocket Engine and Power Systems Division
Aug. 1987 to Jan. 1988  of Rockwell International), I assisted the team in
Software Contractor     debugging and integrating their VRTX Real-Time        
                        applications, and I was instrumental in their
                        receiving an Award Fee from NASA.  I developed vision
                        control software, wrote a device driver for an AD/DA
                        board; improved communications between the robot
                        controller and the robot by implementing interrupt
                        driven I/O; and provided analysis on many technical
                        issues for the redesign of the robotic work cell. The
                        robot is used to weld the Space Shuttle's Main
                        Engines.


County of Los Angeles   Developed software to maintain a database and produce 
Los Angeles, CA         statistical reports for all known juvenile
Oct. 1986 to Oct. 1987  delinquents in the County of Los Angeles.  I used a
Software Contractor     4GL language and a btree filing system, which I       
                        developed.  


Terminal Data Corp.     Principal software designer of the Kodak Image
Canoga Park, CA         Management System's Microfilm Camera Controller.  I
Apr. 1984 to Oct. 1986  also developed much of the camera controller code:
Sr. Software Engineer   control of servo motors, reading sensors, etc. I also 
                        designed and wrote the camera controller executive,
                        image processing device drivers, boot ROM, SBC
                        monitor, and various software tools and utilities. 
                        KIMS is a microfilm storage and retrieval system
                        which used proprietary and VRTX based executives. The
                        system involved a robotic device, microfilm
                        digitizer, DEC-NET, high resolutions displays
                        (200dpi) and laser printers.  I also developed a
                        testing language to control test scripts for SA and
                        QA.  This language was used to test the KIMS project
                        as well as others at TDC.


Handmade Software       I worked on various software contracts on the SDS 420 
Santa Monica, CA        series micro computer.  I developed many database
Jun. 1979 to Mar. 1984  application programs using a 4GL language (PAL) which
Software Contractor     I wrote on the SDS microcomputer.  I also sold,       
                        trained, and serviced the 4GL software to SDS dealers
                        and distributors during this time.
