  RELATED WORK:
                             UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH 

                      Computing and Information Services (CIS)
  June 1989 to Present
              Assistant Shift Supervisor- Systems and Networks:

                   	      My responsibilities include all operations duties
		for a large computer operations center. I routinely 
		perform system startups, shutdowns, and backups. In 
		addition to administering my own machine, I have written
		the procedures and code necessary to perform the system 
		backups on our VAX-Ultrix system. I am a member of the 
		committee designing the new backup, archiving, and 
		vaulting procedures needed for the "AFS" environment 
		currently in use.
		      I have written all the documentation for the 
		procedures that I have developed. I am also called upon 
		to review other documents for correctness and additional
		input. I have coded an interface that allows operators to 
		easily update the system status, yet provide a readable 
		text file for users to access. When not maintaining the 
		programs and procedures that I've developed, I upgrade 
		and enhance the Ultrix machine that I administer. Examples 
		include the incorporation of AFS, implementing an anonymous 
		FTP service, and upgrading various tools to the GNU 
		versions available.



  Jan. 1988 to June 1989
              Student Programmer/Consultant- Academic Computing: 

		     I worked to help create a relaxed atmosphere in 
		which I could aid users in finding solutions to their 
		various individual problems. I contributed to the design 
		and implementation of the software tracking system, 
		which utilized Dbase. I was also a participant in the 
		"consultant database" project. This project, written in C 
		on an Ultrix platform, utilized SQL for it's relational 
		database. Other lab duties involved keeping the software 
		up to date, backed up, and secure.


                    		WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP.

		             Semiconductor Control Center (SCC)
  Sept. 1989 to May 1990
              Temporary Engineer: 

		     I assisted the engineers in organizing test equipment 
		data into databases and spreadsheets for analysis and 
		presentations to customers. I also performed part research 
		in my work on the "PCD catalog consolidation" project. I 
		wrote application programs to obtain, verify and process 
		test data for determining part performance.
