 Career Objective: To obtain a position in software support/development. 

 Projects:         Implemented and improved various parallel algorithms 
                   for graph theory problems on the nCUBE parallel computer 
                   and on the Reactive Kernal System.  Also developed an 
                   X Window GUI which runs these programs on SUN SPARC 1+
                   station using C as part of my Masters Thesis. 

                   Developed several interactive multimedia program using 
                   Turbo C on IBM based multimedia workstation, patented 
                   as "Lektris".  Interaction is through touch screen with
                   audio guidance and live video running at 30 fps. 

                   Simulated an operating system with bartering and auctioning  
                   technique for resource management on SUN SPARC station using
                   C and IPC's in an UNIX environment.

                   Developed an interactive computer aided instruction package 
                   using C and SMG (VAX/VMS).

                   Developed a Shell for Unix Operating System on SUN SPARC  
                   station 1+. 

                   Developed a pattern recognition package to recognize vowels  
                   on SUN SPARC station 1+.
