Hello out there in the hiring world

I am posting my qualification as an ASIC System Design Engineer. Below you will
find a brief description of my qualifications. If interested please feel free to contact me.
I have designed a processor using Cadence and currently describing it in VHDL.
In addition to complete knowledge of Digital CMOS VLSI, I also have perfect knowledge of analog VLSI.

My qualifications as follows:

* Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineereing - Purdue University
* Masters of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering  - Concordia University
  (near completion)

* Strong digital design experience
  As part of my thesis I have done designed

  * BRA processor using Cadence Edge. BRA is implemented in 1.2 micron CMOS NTE     technology. Cadence library is provided by CMC.  It consists of a               MAC( multiply-accumulate).
    Main units are multiplier - 18ns, 2.5mm(squared) - and 
    adder - 10ns, 0.47mm(squared). Additional components in design consist of 
    registers, multiplexors, etc.
    Data-path is heavily pipelined. 
    I am currently working on static RAM implementation
    Completed, individually, design process from layout to schematic to 
    simulation and testing
    Whole processor is approximately 10.2mm(squared). To be sent for fabrication    

  * I am versatile in the use of the following design packages

      [] Cadence Edge ( Layout, Schematic, Place&Route )
      [] Valid        (Analog-Work and Logic-Work Bench)
      [] Magic
      [] SPICE

   * I am currently working on describing my architecture in VHDL. I am also
     familiar with Verilog

   * I have experience with the following high-level programming languages
    
      [] Pascal
      [] C        ( currently use this )
      [] Matlab
   
   * All work is done on UNIX environment on a Sparc2 station. Am familiar
     intimately with Unix - shell commands,  shell scripts.

* As of now BRA strictly employs digital system principles. In future designs 
  I would like to employ analog principles. I have used GA911 Gennum technology
  from Cadence to build systems. I have a good foundation in analog systems 
  design. 

* My areas of interest are 

            Design of Computer Architecture Systems
            ASIC System design
            Real-Time Systems

* Honours & Activities 

	    Quebec Government Bursary Grant - 1991 to present
            Member of IEEE
            Member of Concordia outdoor club

In addition to my above mentioned skills I am very hardworking and very capble
of adapting new information to current work. o

I would be very honored if you would interview me, and I know I can make a valuable contribution to your design team.
